Worst Cruise Ever

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Norwegian Getaway

We chose this cruise for the ports of call. To begin, they cancelled our overnight in Istanbul before departing. The time in the ports were cut short because the cruise excursions never left on time. There was always and hour or two hour delay to get off the ship due to the unorganized shore excursion personnel. It was a joke. So instead of adding time to our excursions we were just short ...

I want to bring to your attention the disappointing experience my family and I encountered during our recent NCL Getaway cruise departing on July 12, 2023. Despite having high expectations based on the itinerary, our journey was marred by missed ports, shortened port stays, and subpar customer service. I feel compelled to share these grievances in order to shed light on NCL's ...

After hearing great things about virgin we wanted to give them a try, especially knowing the Greece cruise was the resilient ladies maiden voyage. We have gone on multiple cruises and tried many different lines, virgin is definitely changing the industry. From as simple as the hammock on the patio to the great restaurants virgin did their homework in making the cruising experience different. No ...

The good points: 1 Comfortable bed. 2 Most staff were friendly and helpful. 3 Ship docked on time at all ports of call. 4 We liked Cafe al Bacio very much. The not good points 1 The internet was constantly intermittent - it kept disconnecting. 2 Except for the solo guitarist and the strings duo the entertainment was not what we wanted. The so-called 'resident DJ' played ...

We found the the whole cruise disappointing. At embarkation we were told to sit in a tent for 4 hours, in the sweltering heat. The cruise never got any better. It was hard to get food. The entertainment was horrible at best. The walls in the hallway were stark, almost like a jail. We had to bring in a chair from the balcony to hold the door open. There didn't seem to be any ...

We wanted to try Virgin because it is adults only. We expected the entertainment, dining, and decor would be good. The food was bad, and hard to get. No buffet or any way to get a quick meal. They had some little plastic boxes with sandwiches in them occasionally, but even though they were terrible food, at least something, but even the sandwich boxes were usually not available. We all lost weight ...

The worst cruise experience I (and several strangers on multiple ships) have ever had. Absolutely horrid cruise line which lost countless customers. There are several things that went wrong on my recent trip on Jade. Our bed was not made and we did not receive fresh towels when our room was open. Even at slow bars, we could not get service half the time. Bartenders did not know how to make ...

We booked a cruise with Viking, from Athens to Venice , and embarked on the cruise onJune9 of 2023 .The cruise is called “ Empires of the Mediterranean.” No vegetarian should book with Viking !! As my wife is basically a vegetarian, even before making the booking on the cruise, I had taken the trouble of calling Viking directly and speaking to somebody in the culinary department to ensure ...

1.) Do NOT do their airfare package through them as a bundle deal. We called February 25th to set up flight deviations for arriving a day earlier than the cruise ship in Athens and leaving a day later in Venice. Our cruise ship set sail to leave on May 31st, so we had called before the “75 day” mark. On March 17th, our calls got disconnected so we tried again on March 18th to ask about vaccination ...

For starters Piraeus was not the port this ship docked on, it was Lavriom. An hour or so away from the Acropolis. I had to pay $150.00 for my husband and myself for a taxi to take us to the Acropolis. It just does not make any sense. The other 16 passengers in our 18 passenger group were not able to go. They just went around the port town which is not the purpose to visiting Athens. All of us very ...
