Barcelona Family Cruises Cruise Reviews

We organised this cruise as a relaxing week in the sun for me and my wife, visiting a couple of new ports (for us) and a few old favourites. The pre-planning by Scotland's Cruise Centre was top notch. We flew from Edinburgh to Barcelona and jumped in a taxi to the port (39 Euros) without a hitch. The process of welcoming us on board was flawless and our luggage arrived at our stateroom within half ...

My wife and I were looking for a cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had been on a recent cruise on the same ship. Royal had done a pretty good job of trying to keep cruisers safe from the Pandemic on that one. This time it was totally different. No pandemic protocols whatsoever. Children under 11 free and no vaccination required. So we spent 8 days in a full ship, cramped quarters, ...

This was cancelled twice due to covid so we were excited to finally go. Second cruise on Epic, so we knew what to expect. Embarkation smooth and trouble free, food was wonderful, staff attentive and brilliant. Masks were not enforced, only when docked at Italian ports, which we fully expected. But Ship is starting to show its age a bit. Discoloured tiling and stains on pool, worn benches ...

This may be long but I found very little recent information all in one place in my research prior to departure, so here is a detailed review. We boarded out of Fort Lauderdale and our boarding time was 11:30am, we were told that they enforced this and I understand why, it regulated the flow and reduced large public gatherings (which is quite comical based on later events while on board). The ...

I choose this cruise because of its unique itinerary and the promise of Princess Cruise to have the most enjoyable vacation of all. The embarkation in Barcelona could have been handled differently and more seamlessly if crew are well trained in what they are supposed to do. Instead, we have section of the embarkation that let us in to the next section only to be redirected to go back where we have ...

This was our 7th Princess cruise, but our most disappointing. We typically love Princess but this cruise was not the best. The cleaning protocols were not as good as prior cruises. Alfredo’s was terrible, all the pizzas were just cheese pizza on a cracker. Alfredo’s is my favorite place on the ships so this was incredibly disappointing. The margherita pizza did not have tomato or ...

This was my second time on the Epic and third cruise with Norwegian. Cruising is 99% back to normal, with very few COVID restrictions remaining (this took me by surprise). According to the GM at the Q&A session on May 21, we had 3000 passengers and 1500 crew onboard (about 80% capacity). He said they can’t go any higher with the current restrictions, but I am not sure what restrictions are left, ...

Never been with NCL before and probably won't cruise with them again. Everything they do board is about cash extraction. They charge a fee for for buying from their shops, for the pleasure of serving you. Gambling is the main feature on the ship, lots and lots of tables. Although we had a drinks package, bottled water was not included, for a litre of water $6.00 + 20% SC. There was no ...

We choose this cruise based on the ports, length and convenience. And based on this we were satisfied with the cruise and our choice. We have sailed a few times on carnival and found this ship very similar to other carnival ships with services, crew and food. Impressions: When you first board the ship you are overwhelmed by the décor which is OLD WORLD design style. At first its jarring ...

We have sailed Celebrity for many years and the main reason we are loyal to Celebrity is Service, attentive staff, courteous, ship is well maintained and visibility of Senior Officers and I love how all staff members greet you. This cruise was good, but I noticed some of why I am loyal to Celebrity was not to the standard I am used to. The staff in Blu was very nice, but they seemed to be ...
