Mediterranean Family Cruises Cruise Reviews

We organised this cruise as a relaxing week in the sun for me and my wife, visiting a couple of new ports (for us) and a few old favourites. The pre-planning by Scotland's Cruise Centre was top notch. We flew from Edinburgh to Barcelona and jumped in a taxi to the port (39 Euros) without a hitch. The process of welcoming us on board was flawless and our luggage arrived at our stateroom within half ...

My wife and I were looking for a cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had been on a recent cruise on the same ship. Royal had done a pretty good job of trying to keep cruisers safe from the Pandemic on that one. This time it was totally different. No pandemic protocols whatsoever. Children under 11 free and no vaccination required. So we spent 8 days in a full ship, cramped quarters, ...

This was cancelled twice due to covid so we were excited to finally go. Second cruise on Epic, so we knew what to expect. Embarkation smooth and trouble free, food was wonderful, staff attentive and brilliant. Masks were not enforced, only when docked at Italian ports, which we fully expected. But Ship is starting to show its age a bit. Discoloured tiling and stains on pool, worn benches ...

The destinations were what inspired us to take this cruise. Entertainment was excellent. The Princess musical group was top rate and thoroughly enjoyed. Excite and others were terrific. Magician was not of the same caliber as the other entertainers. The DJ made the volume unbearable and played the same play list repeatedly. I think he controlled the volume of the movies during the day. Again the ...

We did R/T Barcelona for 3 weeks or 3 cycles. This ship had people boarding at Barcelona, Rome, Athens (and some at Crete). The cruise had wonderful ports (maybe too many!) and we had a beautiful Eastern and Western Mediterranean trip. Ship was new, clean, lots of amenities, nice staff, little ship movement (even sailing in lots of wind) and generally a wonderful floating hotel from great port to ...

Mainly choose this cruise since it was relatively easy to book at a late date prior and was interested in the ports of call. Had been to most of ports before both cruise and non-cruise. Embarkation was relatively smooth, but there was a free shuttle service from train station that we were not aware so ended up walking. My miss, but I think NCL could have done a better job promoting ...

This is a review of my family’s cruise on the Norwegian Epic from Rome to Rome beginning 5/31/2021. We had a fantastic time. Rome We arranged through NCL to have 3 nights in Rome before our cruise. NCL provided shuttles to and from the port, but not from and to the airport which we managed ourselves. It’s a good idea to get into your departure city a day before the cruise in case of airline ...

Destinations were excellent. Crew very nice. Food ok but not spectacular. Technical staff not qualified to change a cabin light bulb in my opinion. Waited 45 minutes at 11 pm to have someone open our cabin door. Only one person on the ship had a mechanical key. Next day, they decided to change the battery. That lasted 24 hours. Tried again next day as door would not open again. Supervisor ...

Review of Princes Regal cruise, May 28 - June 4, Rome to Athens This is my feedback regarding our cruise on the Princess Regal from Rome to Athens, May 28 through June 4, 2022. Stateroom: The stateroom was very clean and functional. LOTS of storage space under the bed. The closet was VERY spacious, with LOTS of hangers. All storage for clothes was exceptional. Bathroom: The ...

Last cruise pre-pandemic was on the Regal (for us) in December 2019 and first Princess cruise since the pandemic was also on the Regal. Sailed from Rome to Athens (May 28 - June 4) and from Athens to Barcelona (June 4 - 11). First back to back cruise for us. Used Princess' suggested hotels and transfers at both Rome and Barcelona ports. Arrived at port in Rome, had to take a covid test since I ...
