Have a Cpap?, Do Not Cruise with MSC

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This was our first trans Atlantic cruise and our longest (30days Greece to Argentina) I have Cpap machine and it requires distilled water. Prior to sailing I requested distilled water but that request was not fulfilled. Once on board, I made another request. The medical staff provide 1 liter of distilled water, which may last 5-7 days Before crossing the Atlantic (6 nights at sea) I ...

Although we've been to the other cities on the itinerary, we were attracted to this one because it featured two cities that we wanted to visit --- Istanbul and Barcelona. Our experience was a combintation of surprise, disappointment, a little anger, and some light-hearted moments. We have never traveled on HAL before, so we didn't know what to expect. The embarcation point and procedure should ...

The door to door service and cruise itself was fine. The chosen ports were nice destinations. Also, the staff onboard is friendly and engaging. The food in the restaurants is ok, drinks at the bar are good, wine selection OK. entertainment is also fine. We didn’t see our butler very often. Last minute changes on excursions was not very well organised and deviating information was given to ...

Here is a synopsis of our cruise... 1- New England clam chowder was VERY liquid. Chef never had it before in the US or he would have been embarrassed. 2- No offer of port wine, though I am drinking a bottle of wine. The waiter didn’t know his customers. 3- Shorts allowed at Alizar for dinner? Why did we spend money on new clothes? 4- Just way too loud and out of control… it was like ...

We selected this cruise because of the itinerary. We had a late start through no fault of NCL which resulted in changes to the ports of call for the first few days. As a result, it was necessary for us to use a tender in Santorini and it which took 3-4 hours for all passengers to disembark. Very disorganized and no communication from NCL. You are unable to make dinner reservations for the ...

We sailed on the 'Viva' or actually tried to, but there was a dock workers' strike in Athens. Consequently, the ship couldn't leave until early the following morning, which meant that our first night in Istanbul was cancelled (as well as the corresponding excursions). Also, this apparently required a course correction which placed the Mykonos stop first, and Santorini second, rather than ...

Choice this cruise to experience something special for our 25th wedding anniversary. Looked forward to all the “special treatments” that were promised and “sold/advertised.” Sadly, from the moment we arrived into port fir check-in…the unorganized issues and poor customer service began. We paid extra for priority boarding and a special pre-boarding party …. Was rushed away and ignored when ...

Very, Very Disappointing Viking Cruise

We have done 2 Viking river cruises but this was very disappointing. Poor communication concerning description of tours and difficulty of some walking tours. Food quality and preparation had a lot to be desired. Many times food was cold and we were not thrilled with the selections offered. Everything seemed to have fish it it. Could not cut steaks. Not enough pool waiters on hand. Many of ...

We choose this cruise specifically for the itinerary. The over nights in Mykonos and Santorini were the deciding factor. I have been on over 30 cruises with multiple cruise line and I can honestly say this ship was not ready for passengers. We were on the maiden voyage of the Journey and found out that the crew arrived the same morning as the passengers. The ship was not cleaned, it was in fact ...
