Pros.. the balcony room was of a good size and didn't disappoint. The excursions were well organised but only in English. free shuttles from some of the ports to town centre were offered. The entertainment was good enough.
Cons... the ship deals only in English. Excursions only offered in English even though departing from Athens. Everything is geared towards American traveller; the air ...
This was our first trans Atlantic cruise and our longest (30days Greece to Argentina)
I have Cpap machine and it requires distilled water. Prior to sailing I requested distilled water but that request was not fulfilled. Once on board, I made another request. The medical staff provide 1 liter of distilled water, which may last 5-7 days
Before crossing the Atlantic (6 nights at sea) I ...
Here is a synopsis of our cruise...
1- New England clam chowder was VERY liquid. Chef never had it before in the US or he would have been embarrassed.
2- No offer of port wine, though I am drinking a bottle of wine. The waiter didn’t know his customers.
3- Shorts allowed at Alizar for dinner? Why did we spend money on new clothes?
4- Just way too loud and out of control… it was like ...
We enjoyed the itinerary and cabin, but had a lot of issues on this ship compared with our last cruise, which was on Princess. A few issues
- Last minute update to a shore excursion that led us to cancel it (self driving tour- would have to share a car with strangers given group size of 2 - should have been included in description)
- Food in main dining room was very hit or miss. Buffett ...
We chose this ship because I have always traveled with Royal Caribbean but was told that Celebrity was a step up. I was aware that the ship was older but had been refurbished. Cleanliness: The sink in bathroom had to be removed after each time we used it because it was clogged and pretty gross. The shower curtain was not clean, the hallways smelled of mold and several of my companions wound up ...
It was the only cruise boarding and disembarking from Piraeus at that date.
First the positives.
1. Room service was very good. The room was cleaned twice per day. The whole ship kept very clean.
2. Crew was very professional always eager to assist and always smiling. Except Reception desk officers!
3. The shows in the huge Theater were excellent. It was clear that all the artists put ...
MAIN RESTAURANT :
THE FOOD WAS WELL BELOW AVERAGE,TWICE THE BEEF WE ORDERED WAS HARD AND CHEWY,
They had for main courses every day pasta (with no meats) and rissoto. The indian butter chicken it was a shame for the indian cooking!!
In general, the food was tasteless,no imagination.
it is true that we were spoiled by all other cruise companies (royal ...
It was a group of elderly going together on an unbelievable experience because we wanted to get baptized in the Jordan River, but it turned out to be really bad. At first we got to the cruise without our luggage’s because United Airlines misplaced all our luggage’s and we got them four (4) days after sailing (this wasn’t the cruise fault, but for other stuff I need to let you know about this), Our ...
We have just disembarked from the Norwegian Getaway after our cruise from Venice to Athens. It was my husband and I sailing and our 2 and 5 year old daughters.
We started off the holiday with a wonderful few days in Venice and then on the final day we caught the train from Trieste down to Venice with many other NCL passengers. When we arrived we very quickly realised that there were very few ...
We chose NCL for the 1st time because Princess are not going to Croatian ports in 2023.
The food in the main dining rooms was cold,tasteless and we found the service very poor.
We had to wait for over an hour to get the NCL buses to and from most ports.
There were chaotic scenes when we disembarked with buses trying g to turn whilst taxis were parking and leaving almost running over the ...
