Southampton to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

we chose this cruise because people said, it is the best , how wrong we were, , The arrival and check in process was great TBH and we were soon in our room, firstly opening the doors to look at the view of spilt drinks on the outside table, Oh well must have been missed we thought, we had a drinks package however soon found out if you wanted a bottle of Stella, $1 extra, Martini bar $7 extra but ...

Absolute shambles from day one. Absolute shambles from day one. Where do I start, to describe this fiasco, a cruise line that promotes itself as a five star floating hotel. I should have guessed things had changed as soon as we got onboard, no free bubbly as a welcome, in fact no one to welcome us on board, where was the entertainment manager, saw her once in all the two ...

We returned from this 14 night Canaries cruise on 1st October. It was truly awful. We travelled to Southampton by coach with Intercruises. What a shambles. Coaches were pulling into Trowell services with no indication where they were going. We asked one coach driver if he knew when the coach for Ventura was expected to which he rudely replied that he wasn’t on duty. Eventually two arrived late, ...

Chose this one as we had previously been on Indepence of The Seas a few years ago, It made an impression, we thought would be same. How wrong! Here's a few moans, Cabin cleaner would knock on the door before 6pm each night asking if wanted cabing cleaning, even though have a magnetic note which is placed outside door to inform him, he even came into cabin whilst we were asleep before 6pm ...

Cabin Cabin size was good, cabin cleanliness was not. Greeted by a pile of the previous guest's toenail clippings on the balcony. I don't what made us more annoyed, that someone would do that and leave them or that it hadn't been cleaned up. Went to Guest Services to ask that the balcony was cleaned, of course it didn't happen and so we sorted it. An old malteser under the bed and grubby carpet ...

This is our 14th Cruise and we decided to deviate from our preferred choice of brands to try something different.We are a family traveling with three teenage boys ranging from 12-17 years. Let's start with the positives, the ship is stunning with decent sized cabins, excellent food, great staff. However, for us this is where it ends. At the time of travel, the ship was running at circa 5200 ...

The very good bits: The ship and embarkation were wonderful, cabins lovely and well laid out, balcony restricted views were great. The waiting staff and cabin staff were as good as any other ship. Lounges good but theatre too small as most ships and 5 year olds not allowed to stand or sit to watch show because suite guests have pre reserved seats. I’ve not seen that before but signs of the ...

MSC – I don’t know where to start ! We booked a 6 person room on the 10th floor of MSC Virtousa. Our first family holiday following Covid. In summary I’m so disappointed with MSC that I have contacted my credit card to commence a S75 claim. I would not recommend this company under any circumstances. What a let down. So lets start with the positives. The ship is amazing. Really ! I cannot ...

The ship is excellent, cabins are lovely, diamond staircase is absolutely stunning. So now for the minus points, Getting on the ship was an absolute nightmare we were due to embark at 1300 got there on time ,parked the car and had to queue with all our luggage in the car park,no trollies available, eventually the queue took us to the luggage drop off then another queue to get on the ship ...

We have sailed with Cunard since 2004 we have diamond passenger status, but this ship was a disaster, we paid £13,500 for a p1 grill room for a two week voyage , the cabin wasn’t as clean as it should be , the toilet bowl VERY obviously wasn’t clean, and my husband stupidly used the brush to clean it before I got a chance to call the steward, the tv system in the rooms is still worse than rubbish ...
