Athens (Piraeus) Cruise Reviews

The positives - Food and wait staff very good, they really made the cruise - Itinerary was good, longer in some ports would be better and could be managed better than what they did - Embarkation was a breeze as was de-embarkation, very seamless process - Good size suite, very spacious - entertainment was good The negatives - Cruise director was out of her depth, little ...

We choose this cruise because of the location that it cruised. The ship was okay. the shore excursions were really good. The problem was with the booking. We were a group of 15. It was a nightmare trying to get NCL to correct errors on birth dates and names. They also did not live up to their contract to pay for transfers from the ships docking port to the airport except for a few of us. There ...

We were on the 30th May sailing and were very disappointed with our cruise to the Greek Islands from Athens ending in Malta. The Company's booking admin is appalling, we had our agent chase tickets etc and they eventually arrived 3 days before departure, some people on the cruise never received anything. so little outside space, 8 sun loungers, 8 deckchairs, 8 cabanas between 200+ guests, ...

This review of how bad Silversea and Silver Spirit are could go on for 100’s of pages, so here are bullet points as to why you should avoid this Royal Caribbean in disguise cruise line and like me mourn the days of great food, service, and a feeling of being wanted, valued and safe. 1. Boarding was a nightmare; they lost my booking and it turned out the had cancelled it as the ‘FCC’ dept had ...

1st ever cruise taken & also wanted to visit Israel During the booking process I was was initially advised that a Covid lateral flow antigen test would be required before travel. After booking & at very short notice - 4 days before embarkation - was then advised by NCL via email that Israel required a PCR test within 72 hours of embarkation. After much inconvenience and at a cost of £160 for ...

Picked this cruise for the itinerary, specifically interested in visiting the religious sites. Embarkation went smoothly as the Piraeus (Athens) port was extremely organized in the COVID testing process and check in. Within an hour we were onboard the ship and our luggage was delivered about three hours later. Unfortunately our experience started going downhill on day one. We tried to attend ...

Our suite was definitely the highlight of our cruise. Our Owner’s Suite with two balconies (one right over the bow) was gorgeous, well-appointed, we’ll-maintained and a pleasure to spend the whole week in. Our room steward - Efrin - and butler - Charina - were both excellent, pro-active and did a great job taking care of our needs. However the ship itself seemed utterly mismanaged in almost ...

Originally we had planned a Princess Cruise to the Canaries in March/April but unfortunately I tested positive for Covid the day before departure. So chose this cruise as one of the few alternatives available to fit into our schedule (not a work schedule but the Grandparent schedule) when we had recovered (although I was asymptomatic). We wish we had not bothered! We flew to Athens a few days ...

My wife, mother (86 years old), and I recently returned from a very after-season Mediterranean cruise, “Ancient Ruins of Greece and Rome” on the Regent Splendor. I believed that the Regent brand was about higher cost, higher touch, higher quality, which we bought in to. Disappointingly, only the “higher cost” part really stood the test on this cruise. To be sure, part of this was caused by ...

Well the ship is quite nice - very small cabin. Food is really excellent - they have a very good chef on board - no complaining Crew in Service and house keeping doing a very well job ... but some of the officer has not the guest in the focus of the cruise ... arrogant answer if the guest has requests. Sometimes we did have the impression - the only what is disturbing on this curise ...
