Lisbon to Europe - River Cruise Senior Reviews

We chose this for the itinerary to see more of Spain and Portugal. Infinity is an older ship but we're ok with that. Staff were all excellent. Entertainment was mixed. Will Martin was the highlight and performed on two nights. The female violinist was good. We walked out of the male violinist. We also walked out of the magician/comedian who did old routines and wasn't funny. The entertainment crew ...

Itinerary made it worth going. Have been on Infinity in the past, ( and other Celebrity ship's ) and we noted a drastic drop in menu standard at main dining room. The confirmed late dining had gone missing in the reservation, and we had to negotiate a bit to get a set table. Waiter service was inadequate. Each night we waited a very long time for everything. Shortage of staff or they are not ...

Having been on the Solstice class ships on four different cruises, nothing prepared us for this older kind of ship at full capacity! Okay, the ship is old, we expected that but the public places are well kept up and the food is fine too. However, the great aspects of a Celebrity cruise are missing, and the constant negatives of Celebrity are worse here than on the solstice class ships. I mention: ...

We chose this cruise because of the dates/location required. Our inside cabin was just fine and saved a lot of money. One port was changed for another due to bad weather which was appreciated rather than another sea day. Lots of activities on the ship. We dont do the drinks or wifi package because of high price which I guess is normal on all cruises. I was quite happy with the food but I always ...

After several cruises with Crystal and Seabourn, my spouse and I decided to try Silversea. We were excited about their new Silver Moon ship, but we quickly realized that marketing promises did not match reality. The embarkation process was tedious and confusing. After all the time spent to enter personal data and travel documents online (before the cruise), we found out that we had to start ...

We were looking for a luxurious experience. We got a standard cruise with a few fripperies thrown in. The ship was lovely, though a little corporate. We were too late booking the speciality restaurants so had to rely on Atlantide and Salt, both of which tried hard but were lacking in the taste and quality of the food provided. Breakfast were a bit of a melee, ie the buffet area is not big enough ...

This was my 4th time cruising with Oceania, the 3rd one on Marina. It's a shame this cruise line deteriorated so far, it used to be my favorite. No complaints about the ship itself, it is beautiful, comfortable and not too large. However, since the last time I have been on it (2019, just before the pandemic hit) it went downhill all the way. The food is not the same, for example, the Polo ...

After the Covid drought, we decided to undertake two cruises virtually back to back to ease ourselves back into the wonderful world of cruising. The two cruises we chose were – one a 10 night sailing on Oceania’s Marina and the second a 14 night cruise on one of Celebrity’s newer ships, the Apex. Both very different offerings. This Review will focus on our experience on the Marina, our first ...

My wife and I have been cruising more than 25 times. We decided to try Oceania after hearing / reading about its fabulous food quality, ship service, itineraries, etc. This past May, with 14 other friends, all first time cruiser with Oceania, we decided to give Marina a try. The months prior to the cruise date, we constantly receive nice printed materials from the cruise company, many of which ...

Celebrity has gone downhill in every way possible, their employees are disengaged & the service is no where close to where it was in the past. The food is mediocre and the constant harassment trying to sell and upsell drink packages and merchandise on the ship is pathetic. Overall disappointed and do not recommend Celebrity cruises. There are huge line ups at the excursion and customer service ...
