Malta (Valletta) to the Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because it was outside of school holidays and it went to some places we had not been to on other cruises. We started in Valetta, did a week in the eastern Med then back to Valetta, we then stayed on and went to Palma, Gibraltar and then onto the Canaries. We usually prefer adult only ships and smaller ships, to date this was the biggest ship we had been on. Having booked ...

Spent several weeks retrying to cancel as entitled when 49% itinerary changed. No response from PO. Dreadful service not shown to cabin, lunch in canteen wine served in plastic. No turn down service stewards working in restaurant in evenings, Repetitive menu. Apps for booking shows and dining, resulting in 21/2 hours in dining room and missing shows. Should look at their ...

Was weary of going with P & O and I was right, firstly the awful smell of sewage on deck 7 all through one of the cabaret bars, not an officer in sight all the first week. Secondly the petty rules associated with the drinks package, you were allowed 15 drinks a day, but no doubles. At the bar I asked for 2 single gins ( using 2 of my 15 allowance ), but no, I could only have 1 and had to wait 15 ...

This was our 1st cruise since before the covid lockdown we were really looking forward to it. We arrived in sunny Malta for a week around Corsica, Florence, Pisa, Rome and Sicily. We booked an inside cabin so we could spend more on excursions and other stuff and it was fine. I did miss the turn down and the chocolate on the pillow but we did find out that the stewards were being used else where on ...

We did a fly cruise to join Azura in Malta flew from Gatwick boarding the flight and flight itself was seamless going out no delays. re was a 2 hour delay on the return due to pilots being late as they had to have a statutory rest period . We chose Cophall parking to park the car at the airport and collection from Gatwick north was shambolic totally disorganised , drivers did not know who they ...

Members of my family offered me the chance to cruise with them on Azura. I was very pleased to take up the offer. We only had one week, but it was a chance to visit Croatia and to see Malta again. Azura was just as I remembered her. (Last visit was in 2014} My daughter and I had a twin cabin with balcony on Lido deck. Apart from the tiny shower .It was great. Dining arrangements and visiting ...

We had booked a cruise with my daughter and her family last year, but it got cancelled. So this was the new date. My wife and I, my daughter and her hubby and grandchildren Theo (13 ) and Imogen (11). The flight from Manchester to Valletta was at 2.05 pm. and because it was late taking off we didn't arrive at Valletta airport until 7.30 pm - their time. Collecting Luggage and embarkation went ...

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 ...

I chose this cruise because of the destination (Croatia) and because of the safety precautions that were in place due to COVID. I loved everything about the cruise. Boarding the ship was a breeze as was disembarkation. The ship was only about half capacity. The staff were so eager to see us and extremely professional and courteous. The food and wine were great with a good variety of selections ...
