Athens (Piraeus) to the Middle East Cruise Reviews

This was my second cruise with Azamara and, booking very early, I landed a suite as a solo and "what a difference a suite makes." First time was in a veranda cabin -- not bad, aside from the notorious shower, but very small. The suite is essentially twice the size, the bathroom much bigger and the veranda wonderful. The butler was a joy to know, attentive, friendly, just great. Also, dining in ...

We sailed 3 legs from Athens to Sydney over 44 days and we could not fault anything about this ship. So much so even after so long we did not want to get off. The inclusions were great which included fresh buttered popcorn, tapas on back deck which include bbq prawns and octopus, peanut brittle and many different lollies, gelato ice cream and all soft drink and juices. All restaurants were ...

We got a great deal on the cruise and loved the itinerary but knew nothing about the ship Wow we were surprised Everything about virgin is above and beyond. It’s all fresh and clean. With many modern touches The staff are genuinely happy to work and that atmosphere radiates through the ship. The staff are friendly relaxed and interact with the passengers all the time Food in all the ...

My wife convinced me 2 years ago to book a 7 day cruise with p&o on Iona to the Norwegian Fjords. Well i loved it and have had the cruise bug ever since. So once we came back i knew we had to go on another one. My wife likes to watch Cruise 1st TV, she found a great deal for the new Virgin Voyages ship Resilient Lady. This cruise was a repositioning cruise from Athens to Dubai with a 2 night ...

This was our second cruise with Virgin Voyages. What we most love about Virgin cruise : 1. Adults only 2. No pesky photographers 3. The restaurants and quality of the food served. 4. Free ice cream 5. No beverage packages What can be improved: 1. Embarkation process in Athens. It was quite chaotic, having to queue in the sun and delay in boarding. 2. Providing early ...

We had cruised with Norwegian once before and enjoyed it, but this cruise went beyond our expectations as far as staff, ship amenities and cleanliness, and ports. My wife and I splurged on a two bedroom suite and it was perfect. The main bathroom is outstanding and the size of the balcony and main living area are spacious. It comes with a butler and concierge as well as a cabin steward, and all ...

We travelled From Piraeus - Dubai on Azamara Quest, from Oct 29 - Nov 15. We boarded the Azamara Quest in Piraeus (Athens) and after we finally got onboard, we started to have a great time. There was a delay of nearly 2hrs to board the ship, due to only 1 customs agent working at the Port. We went straight to our safety demonstration once onboard, then off to the cabin , we were greeted ...

We loved the Jade and the cruise. We sailed on the Jade years ago before it was redesigned. The Jade’s balcony staterooms are much better, having larger bathrooms and slightly smaller closets. Bathrooms have a sliding door for the toilet. Loved the stateroom design. NCL figured out how to keep passengers safe during COVID. We were tested before being allowed to board, were tested multiple ...

A brand new ship, 150 other guests, many from France and Belgium as it was a a Opera Cruise. Us Australians were adopted by all and again we could not fault Ponant. The destinations visited, the tours, the food, the wines, the cruise companions, the crew..... you name it, all lends for a perfect cruise. We visited Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Jordon. Add that to our Antarctic cruise in late 2017. ...

We chose this cruise primarily because of the itinerary and it did not disappoint. We made all our own tour arrangements at each port so I can not comment on the ships tours. Our room was fantastic and the service bar none. We found all the amenities great. We especially liked the Terrace Cafe just because of its variety of selection and casual atmosphere. We did enjoy Toscanas food as well, ...
