Athens (Piraeus) Cruise Reviews

New ship with about one third of the passengers, it was cruiser paradise. We had one of the new Infinity Veranda rooms and really liked it. It made the room feel larger without losing the open balcony feel. The ship in general is beautiful and we loved the layout. The person who came up with splitting the main dining room into four distinct restaurants deserves a big bonus, it really changed the ...

We had planned to sail on Apex in 2020, but we all know what happened. Finally made it on board for this cruise from Athens. I’d like to comment on the COVID protocols and then the cruise itself. COVID safety was great. All crew were vaccinated. Greater than 95% of passengers (I suspect it was essentially 100%). Everyone had to show proof before being admitted to the testing area where ...

It was so nice to resume traveling! This was only the third voyage for Silver Moon, and they were sailing at 50% capacity per EU protocols. The ship is beautiful! The suites are almost 400 sq. ft and the furnishings are very comfortable, including an excellent bed.. The bathroom is very nice and includes a large shower and a separate good size tub. The walk-in closet also has a 6 drawer ...

Our last cruise was ended on March 15, 2020, when we left the Celebrity Silhouette. We were scheduled to walk across the dock and board Celebrity EDGE. Imagine our surprise when we were told that ALL cruises were cancelled for an indefinite period of time. Who knew that it would be July of 2021 that we would officially cruise again? So many booked and cancelled cruises during that time. When ...

After 5 bookings and cancellations on Azamara we booked this cruise out of desperation and frustration! NOT A DISAPPOINTMENT at all. From the embarkation to disembarkation with everything in between , service was top notch! We had a Sky Suite(9183) and were blessed with Natalia (Butler/Host) and Alexander (Steward) and were spoiled from the first minute. I would encourage future guest to ...

Our family of four from the United States, two adults and two children ages 7 and 10 had the pleasure of cruising with Celebrity Apex the week of July 9-17, 2021. We were very pleased with Celebrity Apex. The service, food and amenities on board were truly top notch. What made this cruise unforgettable was truly the service our family received on board. The staff worked hard to make sincere ...

We found out absolutely by pure chance that Apex is sailing from Athens (one hour flight from Bucharest), as on all domestic sites mentioned the boat is in Barcelona, not sailing. We had a great experience, even though it was a little weird: we were accustomed to huge crowds, thousands of cruisers; well, we embarked 398 people in total - 395 Americans plus us 3 Romanians. ...

It's time to stop procrastinating and write the review I promised I'd write. But how do you review a cruise that was so far from ordinary that you'll never experience it again. I'll start with some demographics and a bit of the back story. My wife and I are avid cruisers and have settled on Celebrity as our favorite line for the past 8 years or so. We're in our 50's - 60's and this was our 35th ...

We can honestly say that this cruise exceeded our expectations. I was worried that the Covid restrictions would impact the experience but on the contrary they made you feel safe and they were handled brilliantly. From the pre-boarding experience with requirement for all passengers to be vaccinated and the testing of every passenger and staff member as you board and again as you leave it really ...

I will beginn at the beginning. As we arrived at the pier we were guided right through the point where the testing team had there cubicles.. One of the friendly Celebrity staff members must have recognized my friends an my own Captains Club tier as we were told to follow said staff member, who guided us right to the front of the line. We had to show our vaccination certificate and got ...
