Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Norwegian Gem

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
This was our first trip on Norwegian Gem, but not first on NCL. We booked for the itinerary which originally included Turkey, Israel, Greece, Egypt, Sicily and Italy (Naples and Rome). Sadly, we were unable to visit Israel due to war with Hamas. We were pleased with the substitutions of Crete and Cyprus, having never visited either island before.
Ship and crew: We've been on several ...

After having a wonderful cruise on the Mariner in June we decided we wanted to book Regent again and what a complete difference between the 2 cruises
Most of the staff was very miserable, hardly any staff ever smiled.
Shore excursion desk the staff looked like don’t bother me and go away
Wifi unacceptable
Food compared to Mariner was terrible, i think the chef and food director were ...

First time Regent clients here and thoroughly disappointed. The Penthouse suite we stayed in was very nice, but also tired. The Butler service overhyped and unnecessary in our opinion - just canapés delivered daily and a mini bar also topped up daily - only it wasn’t and required reminders. The vast majority of their waiting staff and all of the housekeeping teams were fabulous. The reception ...

To be fair, my wife and i had a fine cruise. We had booked a cruise on MSC Splendida due to the route and we were not disappointed. For October the weather was excellent. It is a pity there is always a time constraint not allowing you to visited all the places you want to, however we knew the route and the timetable.
Best part of the ship is the crew. Friendly and helpful, hard working, making ...

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 ...

It pains me to write this as my husband and I have taken multiple NCL cruises and have always been pleased. While the ports of call were wonderful, almost everything else lacked. The ship is dated, and needs improvement (the toilets are all especially stained). But most importantly, the staff was very inconsistent. We had an excellent room attendant, and did have a few good servers, but overall ...

Embarkation in Istanbul was long with a lot of waiting in line. I wish that had gone faster.
Our Ocean View cabin was the last one down the hall and butted up against an equipment room, yet we were not bothered by noise. It was clean and comfortable and there were no mechanical issues of any kind.
Food quality ranged from just OK to pretty good with the exception of Le Bistro which was ...

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 ...

I'm not including ports of call here, as this is long enough and I haven't written them up yet. The ports were Corfu, Bari, Trieste (we went to Ljubljana), and Kusadasi (we went to Ephesus).
Customization:
The Yacht Club emails passengers to give you advance options for three things: the pillows, the newspaper, and the bottle of liquor in the room. Here are the options. Pillows: down, ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Viking Sky

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
We have been on a Viking river cruise. We were very impressed. This time we chose the sea cruise because we were very interested in the Ancient Treasures. It didn't disappoint. We liked the splendid scenery of Montenegro the best.
The ship is tasteful, elegant and beautiful. The restaurants are the same with the addition of the more casual World Cafe, although excellent selection of food; ...
