Amsterdam to the Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

This was our fourth river cruise and fifth cruise overall with Viking. Although we had a couple difficult nights at first with the air conditioning in our stateroom, the crew on this trip has been the best we have dealt with of all our Viking cruises. We took the Rhine cruise last year starting in Amsterdam and terminating in Basel. That cruise was probably our least favorite due to the low ...

After 21 Celebrity cruises we were looking forward to this post-Covid cruise. This shows we have previously been very satisfied with the Celebrity product. We had Celebrity flights and transfers, couldn't find any rep when coming out of arrivals, then the coach driver got lost. We are Captain's club Elite Plus but the only priority boarding was for Suite passengers. Captain's club benefits ...

We booked this trip far in advance. It was a 60th b'day celebration for both myself and my childhood friend. We traveled as two couples, ages ranged from 59 to 65. I've been on around 12 or more cruises on various lines over the years. This ship was nothing short of stunning. The furniture, decor and artwork! I'm amazed at any bad reviews I read. I have to wonder what they're used to if ...

Great cruise from Rotterdam to Rome. I had booked a Sky Suite because I didn't like the new balcony cabins. Fabulous care by the cabin crew. In general, if you want to praise something about this trip, then it is the friendly and perfect staff. I was spoiled very much. I liked the spacious Sky Suite. However, I missed a lounger on the balcony. There were only 2 rather uncomfortable chairs and ...

Just want to start off saying that the ship and crew are fabulous. We’ve been on more than 10 Celebrity Cruises over the years, back after Covid, and things have changed. Firstly I must say the entertainment was excellent and so were the itinerary and shore excursions. The breakfast and lunch buffets were also excellent. The problems begin with dinner. The first night we were given a card in our ...

We were on the APEX Sept. 11, 2022 for a 12 day repositioning cruise Amsterdam to Rome. Celebrity admitted that the ship was understaffed by 225 crew members, and it showed. Dining service was impacted. One meal took 2.5 hours. Overall, the food seems to have slipped compared to past Celebrity experiences. We sent 3 entrees back for poor quality during the cruise. One tour guide was an hour late ...

The service was so good that we provided extra gratuities for select staff including our stateroom attendants and some of the servers in the buffet type dinning area. The entertainment was good overall with a few that were excellent. Ship was very clean, open and comfortable. The pool deck on the stern was a little over crowded at times and the bar staff was not sufficient to handle it, but that ...

The Iberian cruise was on my wife's bucket list. Time, opportunity and availability collided and we booked the cruise about five months from the sailing date. Barcelona aside, I wasn't knocked out by any of the ports. My wife on the other hand enjoyed every stop. I detest ship sponsored-tours. The crowded, cramped busses and hordes of people along with the simply stupid high prices generally ...

We chose this cruise primarily for the itinerary given that the ship called in at Bilbao and Cadiz, the two ports on the itinerary which we had not previously visited. We also liked the idea of re-visiting Lisbon and Cartagena. What is a pity is that the cruise called at Gibraltar rather than either Malaga or Valencia which are far superior ports of call. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting the ...

A great cruise overall. This was my 5th cruise on the Reflection this year. Entire crew and service were terrific! And, everyone was extremely friendly throughout the ship. Was more then a bit disappointed with much of the entertainment. The production shows were good (although I'd seen them before) but some of the headliners left much to be desired. The majority of the performers in the ...
