Athens (Piraeus) Family Cruises Cruise Reviews

We choose this cruise because of the location that it cruised. The ship was okay. the shore excursions were really good. The problem was with the booking. We were a group of 15. It was a nightmare trying to get NCL to correct errors on birth dates and names. They also did not live up to their contract to pay for transfers from the ships docking port to the airport except for a few of us. There ...

The destinations were what inspired us to take this cruise. Entertainment was excellent. The Princess musical group was top rate and thoroughly enjoyed. Excite and others were terrific. Magician was not of the same caliber as the other entertainers. The DJ made the volume unbearable and played the same play list repeatedly. I think he controlled the volume of the movies during the day. Again the ...

We did R/T Barcelona for 3 weeks or 3 cycles. This ship had people boarding at Barcelona, Rome, Athens (and some at Crete). The cruise had wonderful ports (maybe too many!) and we had a beautiful Eastern and Western Mediterranean trip. Ship was new, clean, lots of amenities, nice staff, little ship movement (even sailing in lots of wind) and generally a wonderful floating hotel from great port to ...

Our cruise seemed about half full - perhaps a bit more - only half of the breakfast buffet at the very back of the ship was open each morning. Make sure you download the app before getting on the ship! I've uploaded one day's worth of the Freestyle Daily as photos. Service - It seems like Norwegian has been reading the reviews here, because some of the things other people complained ...

This was the first but not last time we went on a cruise. Very relaxing with excellent food, service and entertainment onboard. If you spend your money right (choose what is important/necessary for you) this way of traveling can give you "bang for the buck" and not be too expensive. A lot of nice international people onboard (from 40 different countries). The only thing I can think of that can ...

We choose this cruise mainly for the itinerary. It was bucket list locations that my husband wanted to see and it was my first trip to Europe. Getting to see the beauty and history of Greece, seeing MT Etna and the sites of Pompei. The wonder of Kotor and Naples. And the under city in Naples was a wonderful way to not only hear about ancient history, but history from WW II, the 50’s and ...

My wife and I chose this cruise because a visit to the Holy Land had been on our bucket list. The staff on the ship generally were competent, the excursions well run however their front desk staff were on a couple occasions aloof and dismissive. We had a metal ventilation grate fall off the ceiling 2 nights in a row and hit the floor adjacent to the bed. The HVAC system in our cabin was noisy so ...

Picked this cruise for the itinerary, specifically interested in visiting the religious sites. Embarkation went smoothly as the Piraeus (Athens) port was extremely organized in the COVID testing process and check in. Within an hour we were onboard the ship and our luggage was delivered about three hours later. Unfortunately our experience started going downhill on day one. We tried to attend ...

The NCL Jade May 1, embarkation Anthens, round trip. The following issues occurred during the 7 night cruise. 1) Lack of communication that an antigen test was required before boarding, which was redundant due to the PCR test that was required before we could board. 2) Port being removed without prior notification until on board and reviewing itinerary. And notification that a 2nd PCR would ...
