Barcelona to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because of Europe circuit. The only good thing was the embarkation and disembarkation in Barcelona, fast and organized. Nothing else is good about this cruise. We travelled before couple of times with MSC before the pandemic but this company cares more about the money than tourists or safety. No hygiene whatsoever, only 1 staff holding a spray bottle to spray hands ( only if ...

This cruise was chosen for the itinerary which was as great as expected. But the weird ship design and cost cutting by NCL took away from it all. NCL is just cutting too many corners. Hard working staff members did an admirable job of keeping everything ship shape but there were no extra touches. Staff members all seemed a bit over worked. This impacted service. Food qualify was also not quite ...

Where do I begin?? - Pools are all hot. Told by asst director Danny, that they are maintained at 32C/90F when tested on board the temperature was 36.5C/97F. These are hot tubs!!! A summer Mediterranean cruise where we had no place at all to cool off while on board the Epic. Absolutely no shade and hot tubs. If that is what you call relaxing, well good for you. I would tell staff and they would ...

My husband and I sailed on the Reflection in 2018, and loved it. We booked another sailing to celebrate our 5 year anniversary, and we’re stunned and how its star has fallen. The crew is great. Service is excellent, so no complaints there. Entertainment is pretty good. Amenities are fine. But the food quality is astonishingly poor. Like, really really poor. For example, we used to love the ...

This ship is dated no promenade, no new updates. The rooms are small and uncomfortable with little room to store clothing for a10 day cruise. The pools on the ship are small and extremely crowded. There is a The pools on the ship are small and extremely crowded. There is an area towards the back of the ship for adults only which looks like a small pond without a covered area. For an adult only ...

After returning from a vacation, we decided last minute to try Costa Toscana. Both my wife and I have worked in the Cruise Industry in the past. We wanted to share our experience with our 10yr old boy, to show him what cruising is/was like, for him to experience the things that we have experienced throughout our ship life careers. Most of the places we visited during this cruise, we have already ...

I booked this cruise with my 23 year old daughter for a mother/daughter trip. We booked Serenade due to the itinerary meeting our needs. We previously sailed RC as a family on the Oasis and Freedom. We loved both of the previous cruises. I was a bit hesitant booking such a small ship but figured it was only 5 days and would be great regardless of size. Embarkation was wonderful. We were on the ...

I chose this cruise because of the ports. Italy, France and Spain… can’t beat that. Checked in with no real issues but my friend’s luggage wasn’t delivered to our room. We reported it and then after 8pm I started looking around on our floor for it and I found it in front of any another room because the person that wrote the room number didn’t write it clearly so it was delivered to the wrong room. ...

Here my experience with Virgin for the first time The shore excursions are TERRIBLE I will never ever cruise with them again Princess and NCL are sooo much better Don’t loose your time here that may the reason the boat is 1/3 of the capacity Ahh one thing more don’t loose your time complaining to the Sailors service They basically don’t even listen to you when they do the ...

I chose the cruise for the solo experience that was apparently fantastic on this ship . Unfortunately not the 10 days I went on it did not exist . No meals drink evenings etc our director was missing . Lots of solos gave out . Last night the lounge I met 4 solos alright before that. The lounge was dead . Food was not healthy in the solo lounge . Cake no fruit etc and got charged for drinks thought ...
