Southampton to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We booked this cruise for our golden wedding. We were upgraded to balcony unfortunately it was infamous deck 8. People walking past can see in and no privacy. Whirlpool outside balcony on and off every minute all day long even when nobody in it. The food especially at breakfast was only luke warm. Obviously very short of staff so they should limit number of passengers. On previous cruises waiters ...

Having cruised with RCCI since 2002, and now at Diamond membership level, we've noticed the deterioration in quality of service and amenities, however in 2021 we sailed twice on Anthem of the Seas. Even though the ship was only at 25% capacity, we had a pretty good time, the staff were friendly and cheerful and it was very pleasant. This prompted a decision to sail on Anthem again, to the ...

Southampton to Lisbon including St. Malo, Bordeaux, Bilbao and Porto. The ship is new and beautiful, public spaces well-designed and elegant. The service was mostly outstanding from cabin attendants, butlers and the waitstaff. One exception was in Atlantide where service was extremely slow and at times a bit unpolished. Hot Rocks Grill in the evening was also slow and the food was bland. Food ...

We chose this cruise for the company - we thought P & O would be a fabulous experience, and the itinerary. The itinerary was great. Possibly one too many sea days and they could have squeezed in another port definitely. But overall the itinerary was OK. Cadiz is beautiful and well worth a visit. Toulon is also a lovely place to go and possibly better than Marseilles which was our original ...

I was really looking forward to my first Med cruise in 3 years but I was very disappointed with this cruise. Britannia herself is clean and tidy enough but I really miss having a proper prom deck to walk around - for most of the cruise, exits to prom deck were closed off. I used The Retreat most days and while it was a bonus having a quiet, adult only area, it looked very tired - ripped beds, ...

Last minute booking for an inside room to Canaries, Madeira and Vigo from Southampton. Premium package taken. In general pleased with the 10 day trip. Food was good. The MDR food was good, we took several evening meals and a couple of lunches. Service was generally good but the wine did take an age to arrive eg. ordered before a starter arriving with main 30 mins later. Formal night was ...

4th cruise with RC and always been a fan before. First off the entertainment wasn't bad but very repetitive. The band playing in the Music Hall (the Dukes) played virtually every night and Phillippa the guitarist/vocalist played every night in the english pub. Previously you would have had more variety but less music (sometimes nice to have it quiet!). Shows were badly planned with regards to main ...

I chose this cruise as the itinerary suited dates etc. and left from Southampton, UK avoiding all the airport hassles of late. I had parking with AB at the Horizon terminal - smooth process, entered car park and was directed to a space. Grabbed bags from boot and walked the short (flat) distance to cruise terminal/ship. Processing onto the ship was very smooth indeed. In fact, due to good ...

We are on the final day of a 7 day northern European cruise on the Enchanted Princess and thought I would provide a brief overview as we head back to Southampton. This is our first cruise on Princess, but we have been on NCL pre-Pandemic. We chose Princess as we thought this would be a level up from NCL. The ship itself is beautiful and well designed. The bars and restaurants are ...

We selected this cruise back in late 2020 and were hoping after the cruise pause, that Princess would have worked out the bugs in the cruises and got supply chains functioning and staffing back to what was normal for their ships. This I can report is not up to the standards for Princess cruises in the past. This cruise was nearly packed at over 3,500 passengers and I will tell you, it felt like ...
