Cruise to No Where!

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Riviera

So so incredibly disappointed with Oceania. Absolutely no guest/customer service. Have raised all issues with onboard team, Oceania guest relations and still no communication back. This cruise is going no where, no ports now for 9 days, even restaurants closed on some nights so no choice and tonight all specialty restaurants closed and only Grand Dining and Terrace cafe open. As to onboard ...

NCL HORROR STORY Choose any other cruise line than NCL, what you think you are saving you will pay in disappointment. I booked a mid-east cruise in Aug.‘23 and was a prisoner on-board NCL Norwegian Dawn for 10 days after they cancelled five of eight featured/ advertised ports because of war (understandable) and because four Arab ports barred American ship entry (according to ship grape-vine). ...

NCL Dawn Cruise from Istanbul to Dubai Nov 24 to Dec 13 The cruise changed a number of times. This was explained as a result of the conflict in Palestine. However, stops in Egypt were removed with others added. Sea days were also added. A credit of $200 for the stateroom was provided for the entire trip. No explanation of the compensation for the missed ports, additional sea days, and reduction ...

Let me first state that the previous commenter did not exaggerate at all. As a matter of fact he was kind to give our cruise a two rating, but I stand by my one rating. We are Platinum member of the RSS Society, with many wonderful cruises and experiences with this cruise line. We are only 40 days away from Titanium level. And we have booked 3 future cruises with Regent. That said, we loved ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

I have many reasons why I would rate this cruise as poor, see my previous answers for more details. But among the things I experienced were lost, changed, or cancelled reservations, with staff that did not want to fix the problem and/or were unable to access any of the information. Hidden fees, and many activities that I wasn’t sure if I could participate in without being charged. Excursions being ...

This was suppose to be a celebration trip for us but it was anything but that. After turkish air lost my wife luggage we boarded the ship without hers. Dealing with guest services to retrieve the bag after it showed up in instanbul was a joke to say the least. The airline shipped the bag to athens (4 days in), actually the day before we showed up, but sat at the airport as we sailed away. ncl ...

Would not cruise with them again. Food mediocre especially buffet lunch and two of the restaurants charged $60 and another $40 per person in the evening. Champagne served was Axel Yaz !! On the third day was informed they had run out of Axel Yaz and they were trying to push Prosecco. It was an expensive cruise but in our opinion not worth the money. The suites were okay but nothing special. ...

Horrible experience on Oceania Marina...nothing luxury about this cruise

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

We sailed on the Oceania Marina for the Mediterranean Splendors cruise, from Istanbul to Lisbon last month. We selected this cruise line as it was consistently identified in a short-list of luxury cruise lines, and it sailed to destinations we were interested in seeing. We have only been on one other cruise with Crystal Cruises, so our reference point is limited. However, after 12 days on ...

They have removed all the stylish features that made Celebrity so splendid in the past! No barber shop quartet No string quartet No harpist No pianist No card room No cinema Very poor speakers All that is left are the revenue raising talks, auctions, gambling, drinking Celebrity shame on you. You have lowered your standards to worse than awful. And you were once one of ...

How low can Celebrity standards go?

We cruised for two weeks from Istanbul to Barcelona on 24th August. We were surprised at how Celebrity standards had slipped since we last cruised with them. We had a novovirus outbreak for the entire cruise but communication was bad and we had to rely on rumour which suggested there were up to 450 cases. Plates were dirty, cups were chipped and cracked and service was more akin to a Greek ferry. ...
