Athens (Piraeus) Cruise Reviews

For starters Piraeus was not the port this ship docked on, it was Lavriom. An hour or so away from the Acropolis. I had to pay $150.00 for my husband and myself for a taxi to take us to the Acropolis. It just does not make any sense. The other 16 passengers in our 18 passenger group were not able to go. They just went around the port town which is not the purpose to visiting Athens. All of us very ...

Destinations offered and time that fit with my husbands work schedule. We have usually sailed with Royal but it was not available for our schedule. We had no idea that a cruise could be so bad. The food was horrible. We started ordering based on what we thought would disappoint us the least. Left our steak on our plate the first three times then stopped ordering all beef. Everything was ...

This is not our first time on Silversea. As a matter of fact we have over 100 days. My last 2 cruises I have seen a steady decline in EVERYTHING. I think the writing is on the wall with Silversea. For starters the food. They CLAIM they have fine ding, excellent food and offer a gastronomic experience. The gas part is the only true part of that statement. At times, the food is ...

I choose this cruise for the itinerary and had never cruised with MSC before. Our distilled water for a CPAP Machine was not available even though the request was made online. The food was terrible. No flavor, bland, repetitive, no variety. I lost 10 lbs on the 30 day cruise. Contradicting instructions given all the time. Two of our tours were changed and we were not told about until the night ...

We have just completed a seven day cruise on the MSC Musica to Greek Islands starting from Haifa yesterday the 4th May 2023 The ships senior front of house and officers need to show understanding that there are paying passengers aboard and treat them accordingly The cruise in itself was mediocre at best the waiters and room staff were good and no complaints on their service but whilst we ...

Chose this cruise because Silversea has in the past been good. Sadly this cruise did not come anywhere near previous experiences. Boarding very casual. No covid tests or temperature taken at port prior to boarding, according to literature from Silversea this would happen. Suite very good. No covid precautions on board. Just hand sanitizers. No one was wearing masks. First ...

Shambolic from start to finish. Embarking was a nightmare, with queues of people waiting hours, I had a disabled diabetic person with me who was in desperate need of food and facilities. I had to queue jump many many people to get some attention. Staff were unable to cope. Not a good first impression! Eventually we boarded several hours late and the some of our luggage arrived during the night and ...

To say this cruise was a disappointment would be an understatement! We came on Norwegian for our Honeymoon and I have never regretted a vacation more. I’ll try and make this as short as possible. Day 1 after everyone was on board they canceled 2 of our ports and an entire country off our itinerary, which was 1 of 2 countries we cared about going to. Unfortunately, we found this out at 11pm in a ...

We booked this cruise years ago because of Ukraine and the Black Sea, understandably, Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria was dropped, but we hoped for the best at Greek Isles. Our group spent 2-3 extra days at Athens prior to boarding, and started off with an extensive 2-day land tour with with no less than an archeologist, MariaElena Christopoulou. Daughter made all arrangements for tours and ...

This cruise was just awful. This was our ninth cruise overall and second Norwegian cruise. We left the ship after day four (of a 9 day cruise) and will never step foot on a Norwegian ship again. It started bad with an itinerary change conveniently after the ability to get a refund. We lost all of the Black Sea ports with the war in Ukraine given as the reason. The war had been going on for 9 ...
