Mediterranean Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

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 ...

Just returned from this 10 day of Italy, Turkey and Greek Islands. Celebrity is very service oriented and this cruise did not disappoint. Staff were fantastic. We choose the Aqua Class and enjoyed the Blu restaurant for 9 of our evenings. Staff ate the best. Deni, Yuken, Chad, Marly are the absolute best. Appreciated the cleanliness of ship. Only downside is the age and wear of ship. Rooms are in ...

This was the Dave Koz Cruise 2023. It was booked back in 2019 for 2021 then had to be cancelled due to Covid. The service on this ship was HORRIBLE. The Customer Service Desk was useless and the Food was very bad. I admit that the Ports of Call on this cruise were amazing. The entertainment as always was some of the best. However, the service and the food were severely lacking. I ...

I recently cruised on the EPIC, May 11 thru May 20 with spouse and 2 friends. A couple weeks before we sailed out of Rome, the cruise line cancelled one of its ports (Sorrento) one of the specific reasons for choosing the ship was for the itinerary. The cabins with balcony were strangely configured, meaning, the layout was horrible, tiny thin counter space, a bathroom on right side upon entrance ...

I have been on several cruises before with P and O, and Royal Caribbean. Overall - There were a few good aspects, but I would not sail on the Azura again. It felt like a cut-down, budget experience and totally lacked any imagination or flair. Apart from our evening waiter (who was brilliant), the staff seemed bored, overworked and did not put any effort into making the holiday a special ...

First cruise with MSC and specifically chose it to try the Yacht Club. We were not disappointed and really enjoyed the experience and perks associated with this class. The main thing to point out and this is something everyone says but it's true, is the crew are amazing. Every single one of them work incredibly hard and always have a smile and a friendly greeting no matter how busy they are. ...

My husband and I have traveled a lot, but never cruised. We weren't interested in large ships, so our first cruise was on the Wind Surf in May, 2023, Italy and Croatia. In spite of very bad luck with the weather, we loved the experience and are already planning our next Windstar trip. The ship is older and shows signs of wear if you look for it, but that didn't bother us a bit...we loved the ...

First a general word of caution: Seabourn have announced that they will focus on their expedition business, and they have started selling off their ocean going ships one at a time. The Odyssey has already been sold to leave Seabourn in August 2024. My wife and I sailed on Seabourn Legend a few months before it was handed over to Windstar in 2015. All experienced staff had left the ship and ...

We decided to repeat on the Epic as our first experience last September was great and it went to places we hadn't been before, but this one was not so great. The embarking process was chaotic, infuriating, stressful and disheartening; we waited over an hour to leave our luggage, and another 40-45 min to get to the counter to get the keycards (we had done the online check-in but it didn't show in ...
