Malta (Valletta) to Europe Cruise Reviews

Now guys Im a scenic tragic with almost all of my cruising experience on Scenic river boats with this being the first on their "mega " yacht Eclipse. Let me say from the outset it looks spectacular with an outstanding interior finish ,paintings and general overall "vibe" ( aussie expression for the feeling of the thing) It has many excellent features ....good gym, excellent dining ...

This was a two week cruise so my comments are the same as the previous week but I did wish to comment on the port visits, which in some cases were not as positive as the previous week. As I need to write more I would say that the ship was far more crowded this week, which wasn’t great. It was nice not to have wear masks this week, whether this was because the Covid cases on board had lessened or ...

While the cruise was enjoyable many small things detracted from the experience. Some were no doubt due to Covid regulations but some seemed due to an economy drive such as the change from individual toiletries to large fixed dispensers with no conditioner or body lotion. Face cloths were also no longer provided. The cabin was clean and well serviced and the food was generally good, although there ...

We'd been to Dubrovnik before and wanted to add Split and the rest of the Dalmation coast to my bucket list so we'd chosen to go on this trip a few months ago. But we didn't expect to find the lingerings of covid to have such an impact on the embarkation and with the day to day running of the ship. The TUI check in was terrible, it took 1 hour 45mins, then there was the famous Manchester ...

After 2 long years my daughter and I were really looking forward to this cruise. The form filling, testing and App downloading nearly drove me to distraction but I was sure it would be worth it in the end. The flight from Gatwick airport was trouble free but we were kept waiting at Malta airport for over an hour on the coach, Valetta cruise terminal just can't cope with the number of passengers ...

I chose this cruise for the itinerary. It was my first P&O cruise and it will certainly be my last. My wife and I had completed 18 cruises with various lines all of which were of a much higher standard than P&O. Azura is tired and the service, food and entertainment are well below an acceptable standard. This was Azura's first cruise in Europe and the ship had travelled from the Caribbean to ...

This was our 12th cruise, and our 4th on Azura/ Ventura. Chosen due to 5 of the ports of call were new to us. There were very many first time cruisers on this trip who thought the Azura experience was brilliant, but the experienced cruisers we spoke to were, like ourselves, rather disappointed with the lowered standards and penny pinching by P & O. First thing we experienced was - blamed on ...

I started planning that vacation 5 months before it left port. The first time I heard that we could not get off the ship unless we had MSC excursions planned was at dinner the first night. I literally have been on the MSC website almost daily for MONTHS and did not hear of such a rule. I planned an excursion for every port on our vacation and had to cancel (which we lost a massive amount of money ...

The 930-passenger ship is a perfect size for me. The penthouse veranda was nicely appointed and the beds were very comfortable. The ship has a couple specialty restaurants that were excellent. The main restaurant was also very good with a wide variety of specialties served throughout the cruise. We purchased the drinks package, which was very worthwhile for us as we typically have a drink or two ...

My First Viking Cruise was amazing. It was just what i needed after all the lockdowns in the uk. I felt very safe onboard with this company doing covid tests every day. We started our cruise in Malta to Croatia and a free trip of your choice in every port or you can pay for a trip on many of there other planed trips. The ship was amazing the choice of restaurant's very good and afternoon tea with ...
