Barcelona to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We have cruised many times on all the mainstream lines, but this was our first time on Oceania. We loved it and have already booked another one. The Marina is a beautiful ship. The sculptures, the art work, the furnishings are all interesting and tastefully done. Our fellow passengers were a fine group of people, well travelled but not snooty. We loved that there were few announcements and no ...

I spent 26 days on the Enchanted Princess, sailing from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale, November 10 – December 8, 2023. I’ve done about 50 ocean cruises and sailed on Celebrity, Royal, Cunard the most, though I’ve also sailed on HAL, NCL, Windstar and Princess. I’ve been a Celebrity loyalist for 20 years, but have really enjoyed Princess, first in June, and again on this trip. I thought the food ...

We mainly wanted to see Barcelona and then spend some time in Italy & France. This trip, including the pre-extension in Barcelona, was everything we could have asked for and more. The pre-extension did not include any excursions, but we happily explored Barcelona on our own on the first day. The second we did a Viator tour of Park Seguell and La Sagrada Familia. Not to be missed! The next ...

We had a one week layover between two cruises in Barcelona and instead staying in hotels, decided to take this cruise. We are an older couple with 60+ cruises under our belt. Based on the many negative reviews on this board, we did not set our expectations too high. But we were pleasantly surprised. This is a beautiful, modern ship with state with the art high tech features. It appears to ...

This was our first time on a Celebrity ship and it was a great experience. Everything was top notch especially the entertainment and the cabin. Really enjoyed walking the figure-eight track and the stabilizers are fantastic. I really think some of the criticism I’ve read in these reviews is not accurate. We would definitely choose this ship again. The lectures were very interesting and were part ...

I'm a bit overdue in posting this but I got sidetracked... Embarkation: Very good I love sailing from Barcelona. It's a great sail-away port, easy to get to and has beautiful views of the city. We stayed in Barcelona for four-night s pre-cruise and had an excellent time. Embarkation was smooth, easy, and well executed. Within 20 minutes we were on board Apex. The Ship: Very good ...

This was our first experience with Viking. We had considered a River Cruise for 2024 but changed our minds. Mid summer we received an email from Viking that had several cruises at the end of the year that included International Air. This being a Transatlantic Cruise with a great price. I wasn't sure how we would stay busy for one stretch of 6 days across the Atlantic. We found plenty to do, ...

We enjoy spending time in Europe in the fall and then sailing home on a trans-Atlantic with our preferred lines - Holland America and Cunard. We appreciated the itinerary as it was full of ports we enjoyed . We also greatly enjoy the ambience on HAL ships. We boarded without issue at Barcelona , concluding ten wonderful days in Spain. The ship was spotless and remained so through our 15 days ...

The experience on this ship was amazing. Everything was geared towards the guest having a good time Entertainment was amazing since it was a transatlantic cruise we didn’t have many port stops but this was well known prior to booking and not a problem. The 2 stops I did get off were very organized and easy to do even without booking excursions The entertainment was very well planned and ...

Just finished up a 11 day Med cruise on the Prima. We stayed in the Haven and the experience was truly exceptional. The staff was the best and the ship nearly flawless. Our butler Jefferson took care of every need. I just can't say enough good things about him. The cabin was very very comfortable and roomy. The food and drink in the Haven restaurant and bar did not disappoint. I do wish ...
