Athens (Piraeus) to the Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Viking shipboard service was impeccable. The included excursions did not always match their descriptions, especially the driving excursions. Some of the excursion guides seemed to lack training and enthusiasm which made the excursion below expectations. Viking food was okay, nothing special Twice menu items preselected for medical diet were unavailable because the wrong menu was ...

While most of us were disappointed in not being able to visit The Holy Lands - we certainly understood and found Malta to be an excellent alternative. We thoroughly enjoyed the Greek islands and had wonderful excursions with the exception of Cyprus. The excursion in Cyprus was interesting but it seemed as if there was little pride in the island - many abandoned residential and commercial ...

I sailed with them before on a river cruise the year before and loved it. Although the ports of call were changed due to the conflict in Israel, we were very happy with the replacement ports of Cyprus and Malta. The ship’s crew was fantastic. Always helpful and smiling. The ship itself is beautiful. The shore excursions (both included and optional) were great selections. Our only wish was that ...

This was our ninth cruise with Oceania. We started on Riviera and were totally thrilled. Coming over from Cunard Queens Grill as the Oceania way of doing things suited us better. That first cruise was a 10/10 for us, and we’ve been committed ever since. The small changes that have been made are never to enhance the passenger experience. The food has slipped. Not always, but not as refined, not ...

We used O's Extraordinary Savings Sale to get our B3 cabin for a mere $1749 PP plus $300 OBC PP (which paid our gratuities). So, the price alone made this trip worth it. BUT we travel for itineraries and this one did it for us. We only had the 1 sea day, which I do not enjoy that much, but we had Athens, Kavala, Istanbul, Messina, Naples, Rome, La Spezia (changed due to weather from Livorno), ...

​WARNING: Long and Detailed. Read at night when you can't fall asleep. Hello Cruise Critic Friends: I came on the Oceania Cruise board 1.5 years ago. I have been on CruiseCritic.com for many years. We have done over 30 cruises. I wanted to make friends, which I did.  I wanted to learn, which I did.  I wanted to enhance my cruising experience with Oceania Cruises, which I did. I have an ...

Of course we sailed Oceania for the food, and we were not desappointed. We are Celebrity & HAL cruises fans, it was our first experience on Oceania and not the last. I wouldnt select them for a transatlantic cruise cause the boat is a bit to quiet, our 10 days Mediterranean cruise with a new port everyday,, this Riviera is perfect. You wonder when or if you will get lobster on any other cruise ...

We were spoiled by our prior cruises and very disappointed with our recent cruise and the sell, sell, sell underhanded charging for services. A few examples. I booked a $199 spa treatment and I had a $50 coupon. I expected a $149 bill with optional tip, but the final bill was $247 plus optional tip because they added service and other charges not discussed with me. Next, Oceania cancelled one ...

Our first cruise and we were looking forward to a brilliant experience.. I had watched a couple of YouTube videos and regretted watching them AFTER we'd booked the cruise but being optimistic I hoped for the best. To be fair, and coming from England where everything is run down and broken, the appearance of the ship wasn't too bad. . The problem was the quality of the "extras" and how Royal ...

We chose this cruise due to the itinerary and price. We booked an inside guarantee and got upgraded to a deluxe balcony. The location was perfect. Very quiet and close to everything. The room was spacious, the balcony was awesome our our room steward was great. Only complaint: we could not get our ice bucket refilled since the machine the steward had access to was broken. This has never been ...
