Athens (Piraeus) Cruise Reviews

My son is turning 50 and my granddaughter is turning 18. We wanted to do something really special and booked this 9 day cruise out of Athens. We were 6 all together and even though the Connie is old, it had the perfect itinerary that included Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Ephesus, Kotor and supposedly ended in Venice ( at time of booking). I book through the Casino and they gave me a concierge ...

Cruised over 25 times on the mid size to large ships with both Celebrity and Royal, and this was my thoughts on this trip as points against both Celebrity & Royal :- 1. Small ship was really good, even though it is an old ship with a new refurb, air conditioning not as good as the new ships, and with a full Theatre it became a little unbearable when the temp outside was high, otherwise anything ...

Chose this ship because it was brand new and the ship itself did not disappoint. The furnishings are elegant and modern. While some of the art work was a little too modern for my taste, most of the art fit the decor. The ship was also well-designed. Embarkation was slower than we expected--we were not able to board at the time we were given and had to wait. Our cabin was concierge level ...

My friend and I chose this cruise firstly for the itinerary and secondly for the ‘luxury’. We were both experiencing bereavement, our husbands dying in 2020. We saw the Vista cruise advertised on line and decided it would be a good choice and something to look forward to. We booked a twin concierge veranda cabin on deck 9, apparently there are no PH twin cabins (according to our TA), we don’t ...

We chose this cruise for the ports primarily .We were celebrating our 48th anniversary .The Enchanted Princess is a great size, not too big and not too small. It was very easy to find our way around the ship quickly. The ship was clean and the staff almost everywhere were awesome. The food was "fine " but nothing spectacular. The app was working ok. We had cruised in Feb 22 and actually thought ...

I travelled with my husband and 18 year old daughter. We chose this cruise for its amazing itinerary, particularly for the stops in Israel which is a destination we have always wanted to visit. Embarkation Embarkation in Piraeus (Athens) was very slow. We had long waits in three different rooms before we were able to board the ship. The Ship The ship is older and does not have all of ...

All around great cruise. The ship is gorgeous, entertainment is next-level, and the food is amazing. We experienced one hiccup at the Extra Virgin restaurant. We went to Sailor Services to submit a complaint. It took three visits to Sailor Services over five days to finally get a response/resolution. While the resolution (offered a free glass of wine that evening) was kind, it was too late to do ...

I chose this cruise after receiving multiple ads on social media after researching cruises throughout Greece. Virgin Voyages was our first cruise line and we have mixed reviews. There were many restaurants on board. Each was a fun and unique experience. However, some of the restaurants’ meals were less than great. We loved the food options offered at The Galley. The Galley was a large ...

Great staff, destinations and cabins. Food mixed reviews as only managed to get in decent restaurants two nights. I went to see the restaurant manager who was useless, no compassion just told us to use the gallery which was like a canteen We ate in the Italian once and the Wake once Other than that it was burgers and pizza…. Common issue to everyone we spoke to. Top money for average ...

This was our first cruise ever. We had a great time with Virgin. The no kids policy was a huge selling point, as screaming kids running around has been a huge part of why we haven’t cruised before. We also really liked the hammock on the terrace, which seems silly but it was really relaxing, even though I only spent a total of 20 mins or so in the thing. We didn’t have the rock star status, but ...
