We chose this cruise due to the itinerary featuring ports in Israel, Turkey and Greece. We had sailed on the Norwegian Jade before and had enjoyed our previous experience.
Airport Transfer
We paid for the transit from the airport, due to the fact that we did not have a lot of time between the arrival of our flight and the sailing. The coach bus experience was fine, although the check in ...
I chose this cruise because of the itinerary and because we had sailed with NCL before.
We left Athens and went to Rhodes, Cyprus, Santorini, Kusadasi, Istanbul, Jerusalem, Haifa(Galilee), Pathos, Mykonos, and then back to Athens. We spent 4 days in Athens before the cruise. It was blistering Texas hot while in Athens and on the cruise. We toured Athens, 105 degrees when we went up to the ...
Ship is older but clean and in good working order. It’s an older ship and smaller than some of the newer ones but easy to navigate. Staff is pretty good for the most part. Our room steward and our dining room staff were great. The others were OK except for the bar staff. In general the bars and bar staff are the weakest. Food is actually pretty good. We have been on more than a handful of ...
I've been cruising for well over 20 years, without actually counting, I've probably been on 20 cruises! This was my first and most likely last time on Norweigan Cruise Lines. It started going downhill as soon as we arrived at the port. We were sent into a tent and handed a group number, then ushered to a seat. We sat in the heat (record high temperatures in Athens) for an hour before our group ...
Our steward is great. Entertainment overall is not bad. Shopping is lousy. Casino is lousy. Art is not good too. Too many hidden or complicated charges on cruise. Constantly feels like it’s a game to dodge not being over charged. Not a relaxing experience at all.
Have to queue up for everything to get credit back (so outdated whereby it intentionally makes it hard to get money back, in today’s ...
Went on a 9 day cruise from Athens to Venice with stops in the Greek Islands, Turkiye, Croatia and Italy
Loved most of the stops.
The staff and Crew of the Constellation are wonderful.
The ship on the other hand was a big disappointment
Food was the same every day in the main dining room, The buffet was the same every day
No variety at all. Also, cruising on this ship they try to ...
My family and I were originally supposed to take this cruise in 2020 and it was postponed until 2023. Prior to the cruise, we found the customer service lacking in that the representatives did not know the answers to our questions. You could tell that they were just referring to some NCL handbook about how to troubleshoot questions but they had limited information. Once on board, the customer ...
We chose this cruise because of its itinerary around the greek islands and were very pleased with every port.
However, the ship is old, something that was noticeable - small spaces, lack of activities, crowded swimming pool, etc.
The last theater show was always at 9pm, which meant we could only attend it if we had scheduled dinner for 7.30pm, too early.
The stops were long enough, but ...
Overall, we had a nice vacation and trip on the Celebrity Infinity. This ship is definitely older and a pretty standard, mid sized cruise ship. Do not expect any special bells or whistles on this ship. I would like to point out a few things to be aware of:
1. Age of Ship: I have seen some note that the ship was recently refurbished, but if it did, I did not see it. There was lots of visible ...
We chose this cruise because of the variety of locations that the ship was going to be visiting. We booked our holiday, but with days to go, the itinerary changed.... drastically. Almost every day the time in port was shortened by 2 hrs or more. This left us with no chance to spend any quality time in port.
They cancelled our stop in mykanos altogether because of choppy waves, yet 2 other ...
