Barcelona Luxury Cruises Reviews

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 ...

We chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary (we hadn't been to Morocco), which was cancelled before we left and replaced with Palma de Majorca (our 5th time there). We watched quite a few U-Tubes that seemed to indicate that Oceania was comparable to Viking (which is our favorite ocean line). Viking has one infuriating Con, which is, they demand FULL payment for a cruise one year to two ...

My wife and I are veteran cruisers. This was probably our 20th cruise. This was, by far, the worst cruise we've ever had. It was obvious that Ritz has only been in the cruise business for a year. For the money, I would pick Seabourn, Crystal and Silver Seas 10X over this experience. The communication was the poorest we've ever had and the ship was boring. We scoured our dashboard weekly and ...

Positives: The Staff and Crew were excellent and provided excellent customer service. The food was excellent. The ship was clean. Negatives: The Azamara website nightmare. What guests were put through before boarding is beyond acceptable. We brought every piece of paperwork with us, and Azamara still could not reconcile the Special Dinner Package I purchased before boarding- I had ...

I am sorry to say that in spite of fabulous food, a wonderful cabin and food crew, and amazing staterooms, I would never go on an Oceania Cruise again. The management staff (with the exception of the concierge) as non-existent. The support staff at the desks were not only rude and uncaring, they would not go one step further than absolutely necessary to correct a horrible situation. Things ...

We chose because we were expecting Ritz Carlton service levels. Didnt happen.With high anticipation our bus left the hotel to take us to the ship. Driver got lost and took us to the wrong ship. Once on board we learned very quickly that all needed info was going to be thru the ship AP. It didnt work. And it stayed that way for the whole cruise. We were supposed to have a dedicated concierge. We ...

DO NOT USE VIKING. Since Covid and stretching out to the smaller ocean going vessels…they are NOT taking care of their clients. Dec/Jan we did a 4 week cruise from Barcelona to Istanbul with extended stay in both. I NEVER HAVE RECEIVED MY LUGGAGE. Their excuse of they cannot help the airlines, but they can help the travel arrangements that their 3rd party makes for air flights. They had us ...

Other than the amount of emails sent before the voyage which left me wondering what I should do before embarking, the trip just got worse as the days went by. The cabin was small, lack of wardrobe space and a poky shower room. The toiletries provided were of poor quality, forcing me to buy a decent hair shampoo as soon I could get to some shops. But the most visible shortcomings were the total ...

We cruised 3 weeks with Viking, ending in Athens. Our cruise was set to start in Barcelona, but we were notified two weeks ahead that the departure would now be from Tarragona. As we had booked our own flights and hotels, Viking said we were now responsible for getting to Tarragona on our own, necessitating either a 210 Euro taxi, or navigating an unbelievable scrum with 4 suitcases to barely ...

The food was very poor couldn’t even get a decent muffin - I lost weight. This is my 15th cruise so I know what things should be. Sea Days hardly anything to do, not like other Cruises. Our first time with Oceania we met a couple who have sailed with them 4 times and they wanted an upgrade they had to pay $500.00 for it when the ship was only 3/4 full no loyalty perks for them can you believe ...
