Barcelona to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We were originally booked on another cruise that was cancelled in 2020 and had vouchers with Viking that we needed to use. We typically cruise with Viking to visit locations that we would not have visited otherwise, and to also scout destinations to come back to for longer stays. The Iconic Western Mediterannean cruise was a great itenerary to do just that in that we haven't visited Spain or the ...

This was our second cruise with msc. Once again I cannot fault them. Everything was amazing from the food to the price of the cruise. The staff are so friendly and so helpful. A very special praise to Noman from the bar service. He just went above and beyond for us. We ate in the sliver dolphin our waiters Mark and Gerldine were lovely. Full of knowledge from wine to the food. The food was ...

Chose this cruise for the eastern Mediterranean itinerary and to experience the Splendor. We've been on the Explorer and wanted to compare. Like the decorations and feel of the Explorer better but this is an excellent vessel. It handled the gale-force winds and waves we encountered one night just fine. We stepped down from Penthouse to Concierge D for this 17-day trip and the room was very ...

We just finished a 7-day Mediterranean cruise onboard MSC Opera. This was our sixth cruises overall (three on Princess and one on Carnival) and second on MSC since last December. Embarkment: Easiest of all cruises. We were scheduled to board Opera at 1 pm in Barcelona, but arrived at the terminal around 12 pm. There were about a dozen people lining up and we got onto the ship in no more than 10 ...

This is my third time taking Royal Caribbean Cruise. I found there are more food choices than my first 2 trips. The employee are very friendly. The room services are excellent, sometimes 2 times per day. The facility are excellent. It has a run/walk way for 0.67 KM long. I and my wife enjoy the " Ice Spectacular " and the " VOICE" musical very much. There are many swimming pools in the ship ...

We have been extremely disappointed with our experience on Royal Caribbean. We are a group of 14 people, sailing on the Wonder Of The Seas from Barcelona, and have had a very poor experience. My father is disabled and has an accessible room. However, the lock is dysfunctional and on several occasions it has locked him out of the room - even the housekeeping master key didn't work. We have had ...

I chose this cruise because of the relatively low single supplement, its date of sailing and, in particular, the interesting cities it was visiting. I was disappointed with the way MSC cancelled the two excursions I had booked to see two of the cities. There is plenty to praise about the ship. I particularly appreciated the space in the public areas despite the large number of guests on ...

I chose this cruise to celebrate our (hubby & I ) 10 yr anniversary and I thought it'd be fun to celebrate on the newest & largest ship. I've sailed several times on Royal, each time on the newest and/or largest ship. Of all my cruises, this was the most disappointing. The service (cabin steward, waiters, & guest services) was 5+ star. The food, however, was not good. Based on my past cruises, I ...

This was our 8th MSC cruise and we actually booked our next one while on board. That being said, this ship needs some work. The dining room chairs were always falling apart. The shower drain didn't drain well. AND this was wasn't up to the MSC standard we have become accustomed to. There are no shrimp cocktails on the menu at dinner. When asked, we got the standard answer of "THIS IS A ...

If you want a more "stodgy" cruise experience, this ship/line is your best bet. My husband and I (almost retired), were entirely bored the whole week. Mediocre music (nothing I've ever heard before), that was loud and annoying (not a single person dancing, or looking like they were having fun). Food was "OK", but try getting anything after lunch....nope. Everything closes. Entertainment.....ok ...
