Athens (Piraeus) Romantic Cruises Reviews

One of our friends had been bumped from a scheduled cruise by a charter 5 years ago. Between additional charter bumps , better pricing for just making a new booking and Covid they finally landed on this cruise. We have a group of friends who travel in a pack and as soon as one family booked, we ended up a group of 36 going on this cruise. We originally were booked on Brilliance but then the new ...

Destinations offered and time that fit with my husbands work schedule. We have usually sailed with Royal but it was not available for our schedule. We had no idea that a cruise could be so bad. The food was horrible. We started ordering based on what we thought would disappoint us the least. Left our steak on our plate the first three times then stopped ordering all beef. Everything was ...

Oceania is known for finest cuisine at sea but it seemed its quality has gone a bit downhill. The dish presentation is very dull and seemed many people can do a better job at home. In general service is good but could be better as it named itself as luxury cruise line. Entertainment is limited as the ship itself is not big. Sometimes you find not much to do on the ship. Luckily there is music ...

We chose this cruise because of the eastern Mediterranean itinerary. It doesn't take much research to realise that MSC is good value for money. Excursions were good value for money too and we had great tour guides in Israel, Cyprus and Turkey. We had a deal that included a drinks package which was fantastic. There were so many places to get a drink. You could definitely avoid the crowds on this ...

I choose this cruise for the itinerary and had never cruised with MSC before. Our distilled water for a CPAP Machine was not available even though the request was made online. The food was terrible. No flavor, bland, repetitive, no variety. I lost 10 lbs on the 30 day cruise. Contradicting instructions given all the time. Two of our tours were changed and we were not told about until the night ...

We have just completed a seven day cruise on the MSC Musica to Greek Islands starting from Haifa yesterday the 4th May 2023 The ships senior front of house and officers need to show understanding that there are paying passengers aboard and treat them accordingly The cruise in itself was mediocre at best the waiters and room staff were good and no complaints on their service but whilst we ...

Chose this cruise because Silversea has in the past been good. Sadly this cruise did not come anywhere near previous experiences. Boarding very casual. No covid tests or temperature taken at port prior to boarding, according to literature from Silversea this would happen. Suite very good. No covid precautions on board. Just hand sanitizers. No one was wearing masks. First ...

We chose this cruise specifically for the ports in Romania and Bulgaria but due to the ongoing conflict those ports were switched for additional Greece ports. At first disappointed but the new route didn't disappoint. Overall we were extremely satisfied with the cruise and the cruise line. The Jade sparkles like a brand new ship. It was hard pressed to find signs that is was nearly 20 ...

The ship is older and has been remodeled but old stuff can still be found. Nice room and roomy bathroom. The itinerary was changed eliminating Romania and Bulgaria stops. They substituted Volos and Heraklion instead which were ok stops with nice culture and great people. We would not continue and considered canceling, but we hung on due to friends. Foods were acceptable in the dining ...

Shambolic from start to finish. Embarking was a nightmare, with queues of people waiting hours, I had a disabled diabetic person with me who was in desperate need of food and facilities. I had to queue jump many many people to get some attention. Staff were unable to cope. Not a good first impression! Eventually we boarded several hours late and the some of our luggage arrived during the night and ...
