Athens (Piraeus) Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise as it was a smaller ship. We found it much more intimate, no queues and everybody was so friendly. The ship holds 700 passengers but there were only 400 on board. The negatives are the swimming pool was small which if the ship had full capacity this could be a problem. Even though the interior of the ship had been re-furnished they had not done the staterooms. The ...

l choose this cruise for the luxury opportunity on a cruise. ( i’ve been on cruises before)This average price is around $4K PER NIGHT!!! My cruise was five nights. Typically check in luxury hotels are 11am. We had to be out of the room at 8 AM! Like no!! I will start with the pros: Rooms are beautiful, spacious and very nice. Roomy balconies too. Aesthetically the ship it very pleasing to ...

We boarded the cruise from Athens. We stayed in Athens for 2 nights before the cruise. We took the second guest free air option - which in retro was a mistake. Both the flights had stop over and would not have travelled in either airlines ( Lufthansa/Air France) if I was booking myself. I was hoping that from JFK we would have a chance to get direct flight to Athens - no joy. Also we had to seat ...

We chose this cruise because of the ports visited that was on our bucket list for years. We sailed on the Viking Sea in 2019 and loved everything about the cruise. We had the same expectations after booking this cruise but we were immediately disappointed starting the first night on board. The food quality, selection, taste and presentation were lacking and mediocre at best. The food lacked ...

We loved the crew, the cabin, the dining and drink options. The dining was very tasty and many options were available. The crew was super friendly and always willing to help. The bad side, the organisation was a mess, Venice port was cancelled and we had to make 2 queues for 2hours to try to get buses to Venice and when we arrived to the counter they were fully booked. No information was provided ...

We did the 9 day Mediterranean cruise leaving Athens and debarking in Ravenna Italy. Ports of call were : Santorini, Mykonos, Zakynthos, Corfu, Kotor Montenegro, Dubrovnik Croatia, Zadar Croatia and Venice Italy. There was mistake after mistake made even before we got on the ship. Our itinerary said that we would be debarking in Venice(Ravenna) Italy at the end of the cruise. I called NCL to ask ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary (Greek Islands). But the food options were just terrible. No central dining room just a cafe. You get to "look" at the food but then you have to go sit and wait 5-10 minutes for a waiter. Then it takes 15-30 minutes to get your food that is cold by the time it gets there. Really stupid. They stated Virgin did not want "buffet" food because ...

I recently had the opportunity to embark on the inaugural cruise of Virgin Voyages' new ship, the Resilient Lady, sailing from Athens through the Aegean Sea and visiting captivating Greek islands such as Rhodes, Santorini, Mykonos, and even Bodrum in Turkey. Despite encountering some issues during this second cruise with Virgin Voyages, there were still several noteworthy aspects that made the ...

The ship is older and has been remodeled but old stuff can still be found. Nice room and roomy bathroom. The itinerary was changed eliminating Romania and Bulgaria stops. They substituted Volos and Heraklion instead which were ok stops with nice culture and great people. We would not continue and considered canceling, but we hung on due to friends. Foods were acceptable in the dining ...

The balcony cabin was fine, the two servicing people were great. However, the pushy sales tactics experienced from almost every employee, especially during the first three days of the cruise, trying to sell us an additional drink package for 49.95 per day per person (in addition to what we had already included in our price) became a total nuisance. The wash clothes were a dirty yellow, clearly not ...
