Nothing special

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Nautica

We chose the cruise for the itinerary and supposed quality of the cruise. The itinerary was great, but the cruise was nothing special compared to any others we have taken. The stateroom bathroom was exceptionally small. We had an Oceanview room on the 6th floor toward the front of the boat. The room was larger than most as the balcony area was inside the room. Because we were over the ...

Just spectacular. Our first cruise and how fantastic was this! Without question the service was so good, so authentic, personal and kind. Everyone remembered your name. Everyone was engaging and not in a hurry. The table service was so excellent .. never rushed, never slow. The somilier quickly figured our wine preferences out ... and was always able to find something that was ...

The very first reason I chose MSC Splendida was because it was departing the city I lived İstanbul. I did the trip in a balcony cabin with my wife and 2 daughters (6-9 years) and would like to write my observations briefly from this 8-night trip. * Cabin was big enough for our family and the service was very good in the room. * Dining in the open buffet was a little crushed during the ...

This cruise was originally on another ship but changed to the Venezia. When we got our room changed we upgraded to a Suite for pennies and were pleasantly surprised about the room. It was lovely, spacious, great closet space and a full length mirror in the closet that was perfect. The bathroom had a double sink but no space to put anything except for a couple small shelves on the wall on both ...

We love the Oceania and booked this cruise (and paid) for Upgraded air fare (economy class). The air arrangement were awful - our tour agent was able to finally get us nonstop coach direct to Turkey. There were 3 couples going on this trip (from the same community) we requested to fly together - reservations for trip made 2 years in advance. They booked the three couple all on different ...

I have sailed 5 times with Oceania. The food has been the primary reason and the service. The food was actually terrible on the new Vista. Room service was not edible. Red Ginger had the best food out of all the restaurants. The bacon was tasteless. Even the ketchup was an off brand that was horrible. The penthouse suite was great but the vibration from the engines woke me up at night. I have ...

Not quite up to par

We chose this cruise for the itinerary. The fact that the ship was brand new didn’t hurt either. This was our third cruise on Oceania and we first cruised with them on the Baltic Sea on the Marina. We fell in love with the ship and the cruise line. However, since the pandemic, things just aren’t quite the same. We did our air through Oceania for the purpose of if things went wrong, they would take ...

Chose this cruise for great itinerary and Brand new ship. Although bathrooms are now larger, staterooms below the "penthouse" suite category are simply too small. Far less space than Seaborne, Regent and Silversea! But most disappointing is closet space!! Actually ridiculous that a New ship would have a shared 2 person closet that measures less than 2 meter/yard wide, and only deep enough to fit a ...

The good. The food on this cruise was the best I have ever had on a cruise. The bathroom in my standard stateroom was the nicest I have ever had on a cruise. Our room steward was amazing throughout the two weeks. He never failed to keep our room clean twice each day. He went out of his way to refill our refrigerator and ice bucket. They do not nickel and dime you on this boat which is very ...

We were eager to cruise on this beautiful new ship, it looked fabulous, modern but chic ! The rooms were fabulous and it really felt special, I had never seen such a big and convenient bathroom ! The arrival in Istanbul was not easy, we had included transfer but it took over an hour and a look of detective work to find our bus. We finally got there and it was worth the trouble !! The food is ...
