Barcelona to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Writing as I go, so the review might seem choppy. I enjoyed my sun princess cruise very much. The workers were fantastic. I would recommend it for my family if they want to sail. There were some negatives that I will mention in the review. I write them out not as a complaint, but I am hoping Princess media team will be able to see it and make improvement. I also hope to provide future ...

This cruise is absolutely awful!! The food is terrible in all the restaurants including the specialty restaurants. The lady who is the cruise director is awful!! There is absolutely no entertainment!! Back to the food. They serve the same food in the buffet for lunch and dinner, everyday for 10 days!! Just awful!! Our suite was super comfy, but even the signature lounge had hardly any snacks and ...

This was our 14th cruise crossing mulitple cruise lines (Viking, Royal, Azamara, HAL) and now Princess for the first time. Our trip was going to be the 4th cruise of the Sun Princess, but it turned out to be the second I believe. I still have high expectations for Princess as they didnt communicate any issues with the boat prior to departure. We did upgrade to a balcony room. We had another room ...

They advertise and promised a vacation that wasn't what we paid for... Loss of most important stop, Santorini, and the replacement wasn't even close in comparison! So much of the entertainment wasn't up and running, and won't be for quite a while! There is no Spellbound, no Love by Britto, no shows in the Dome, reduced replacement shows in the arena and Piazza. It not even close to what is ...

We chose this world cruise excited to visit some of our bucket list destinations. While visiting Egypt became impossible due to conflict in the region we were still thrilled we would be going to Rhodes. But not to be. More than half the cruise has been made up of sea days with substandard destinations. Food has bern appalling with regular absence of fresh fruit, salad and now no coffee available ...

This was our 3rd Viking cruise, but our first ocean one. The general consensus was that if we had never taken a Viking river cruise then this would have been the best experience we’ve ever had. However the larger ship with the greater population, while well managed, lacks the intimacy of the river longships. An example is dining in the restaurant. The open seating with the smaller tables was not ...

This was our first cruise on Viking and to the Mediterranean. We have been on several other cruise lines and all have been good. Viking probably appeals to a 55+ age group so there is not a lot of party, drinking themes in its programs or tours. The excursions we took through the line were all well done and had very knowledgeable people conducting the tours. The dining was very good with ...

Originally we chose this cruise mainly because of the ports it was due to stop at in Israel, Egypt and Cyprus, but this itinerary was amended when Israel declared war on the Palestinians and these ports were replaced by others in Turkey and Tunisia. This was obviously not the fault of Costa Cruises. Overall we enjoyed the cruise, but not Costa and unfortunately we wouldn't ever travel with them ...

We ate long time cruisers with Oceania but now a lost customer! We booked this cruise in 2019 for 2020 travel dates. Alas pandemic curtailed those plans until this year. We in fact booked a 30 day cruise Barcelona to Dubai - never being informed that it was 2 back to back cruises - first issue as this was the start of lack of communication and guest satisfaction, We were advised of ...
