Europe Family Cruises Reviews

Hi I have done 10 cruises with other cruise lines but mainly MSC. I had to do this cruise to use up a deposit for a previous cruises cancelled due to COVID. So Celebrity is 5 star well I did not get that feeling at all and the shows by the entertainment crew were not really up to standard. I must add the acrobats and rope work we're good. Food was like any other cruise but the Buffet was ...

In a strange way, ships like the Explorer could be considered 'perfect' cruise ships. They have a little bit of everything. I read an article recently that said ships like Mariner of the Seas (and therefore Explorer) represent the best cruise value you can get at the moment. Everything you want is there, even if some of it could be improved to make it perfect. The famous 'promenade' layout of ...

This was our first cruise post Covid, so we can only compare this to 12+ pre-covid cruises with lines such as P+O, Celebrity, RCL, Princess and Cunard. Please bear this in mind when reading. Embarkation Slowest ever. Took 2 hours stood in queues (security then Ship enrolment). Could have opened additional security gates and used tickets for embarkation like previous cruises. We were ...

Not the best cruise ,done Royal Carribean few times ,and Tui this is by far the worst one Food is awful and not enough space to move about in the buffet with their trolleys and electric wheelchairs No where is the food as good as Royal Carribean for choice or quality of food ,thought Tui food on offer in buffets was basic , this is much worse Don't cater that well if you ...

We have traveled with Norwegian Cruise Line in the past and truly enjoyed it all. My NCL reservations representative is wonderful too. We chose this ship’s itinerary since our first option to travel with NCL Epic out of Barcelona was cancelled to do ship updates. Needless to say, they should update Breakaway too. Commodes did not flush properly, no automated door openings so touchy touchy, no ...

I choose this cruise through Costco travel. There were some perks for booking with Costco and i was interested in the itinerary going to Greek isles and the western side of Italy. Good things. We upgraded to a balcony and it was clean and comfortable. We went to multiple ports and they were great for seeing things, like Pompeii, Pisa, Florence etc... Bad Things. Customer Service ...

NCL canceled Sardina, spent 2 days at Florence port which does not allow for liqour to be served. Food was disgusting and cheap, employees seemed crabby and overworked, entertainment was limitted and poor quality. Passengers appeared to cough more frequently as cruise went on, then we returned home tested covid positive. Breakfast at all restaurants was served cold and of poor quality, eggs over ...

Sailed previously on NCL Encore to Alaska, and it was fabulous. The Epic, however needs to be dry docked - or sunk. The service was terrible. The food in most instances was deplorable. The cabins are very uncomfortable; barely any water pressure in the shower. Most of the entertainment previously advertised did not exist, Pricilla Queen of the Desert was not offered. The Beatles only played ...

Wow! We spent a fortune sailing in the Yacht Club. Expected it to be like Norwegian Haven or Celebrity Retreat. The service was excellent in the YC but the entertainment and staff outside of Yacht Club is horrible. I honestly think they dislike Americans (but love our $$). Worst entertainment of any cruise line I have traveled and we have been on over 40 cruises. Boring Sea days-no ...

When we originally booked this cruise the flight details "would be advised later" but Celebrity clearly stated "we will find the best flight for your cruise itinerary". That flight turned out to be a budget airline that required a check in at 3.30AM! It meant leaving home at 1.30AM. So an entirely sleepless night and this is supposed to be a relaxed cruise? Lesson number 1, never ...
