Malta (Valletta) to Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Organised a friends get together for a weeks cruise around the Greek Islands sailing from Malta. Arrival to Malta went well, embarkation went smoothly. Had an extended stay due to late arriving passengers (not their fault). Valletta is a beautiful city and well worth a visit. One couple in the group were given their cabin keys only to find an officer in their bed who had been working the night ...

FIRST TIME CRUISER I went with a friend , simply no good on all levels boring , flat atmosphere, rough sailing , missed stops, mykynos and skatios no compensation , late sailing by 7 hrs! no entertainment , food OK, staff miserable . Captains night waste of time . What was the point ? I didn't get why ? I can't really say I went to Greece ! What I saw was rubbish . ( because of missed ...

I don't want to waste a lot of my time writing this review, but just to say that we were with a group of people (10 in total) and we all has a lot of issues during our weeks cruise. Worst of all it was my friends wedding onboard, and many of her arrangements and our dining plans were messed up! We weren't able to sit together for dinner until the 4th night!! Even the special wedding night meal saw ...

Chose to go with p and o because of recommendations from friends . This was our first cruise, only my husband and myself in the party . Our baggage labels were sent to us and printed and put on our cases . We had confirmation of a free upgrade. When we reached the embarkation point we were told those labels didn’t match our cabin. The staff didn’t know why so we were left waiting until they found ...

Having read the reviews in advance we were a little worried. This was our 27th cruise (various lines including P&O). We had an aft balcony cabin which was on the corner of the ship. It was spotlessly clean and, although a little tired furnishing-wise, due ship's age, it was more than adequate. Only gripe was the bed seemed harder than usual. The service around the ship was fine, staff were ...

This is our third Oceania cruise. We were disappointed in the lack of communication and food. We were not notified in advance of port requirements which most of the time ended up being an Oceania imposed requirement. Excursions were canceled with no reason given. Oceania excursions are awful. Over crowded, too much time spent standing around and most times you cannot even hear the guide. The food ...

This September we took the 15 night In-Depth Adriatic & Aegean cruise Oceania cruise from Valletta Malta to Istanbul. We had the standard oceanview cabin on the Nautica. The cabin was very nice and the bed was absolutely heavenly. There was some noise due to being right across from the door the crew used to get to their own cabins but no noise from above or either side. We had plenty of ...

I have only one gripe and that is the arrival time in Malta. I particularly wanted to visit Malta because I lived there as a small child but the late arrival time of 5pm ( we actually boarded at 8 pm but that was out of P&Os hands) from Gatwick meant we would arrive and sail very shortly afterwards. People who flew from Bristol & Manchester arrived at 11am allowing them to leave the ship and ...

The ship is nice and room was lovely, however we had problems with the shower, every time we used the shower the bathroom flooded which apart from being a hazard it was an inconvenience. The ship was full and there were queues everywhere especially at the buffet, pools were always crowded, most of the staff were not helpful maybe because of the overload of work due to many people being on board. ...

My experience on the Ponant La Boungaville cruise from Malta to Nice was, for the most part, a mix of positive emotions and some disappointments. Let me start by highlighting the best aspects of this journey: The standout of the cruise was undoubtedly the presence of Andrea, the cruise director. From the moment I stepped onto the ship, Andrea proved to be an exceptional host. Not only did he ...
