Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Variety Voyager

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
We travelled on this ship in Oct from Istanbul to Athens. Embarkation was a disaster with no one to meet us, no information about Port process and how to get on the ship and a walk of 500 metres with our luggage. The boat is not the disappointing part- it is well laid out and the meals are above average. The cabins are fine though not all facilities were operating (safe) and some doors were ...

The good:
Our cabin was comfortable. Not spacious, of course.
Steward service was extraordinary.
Service in the Silhouette restaurant was excellent.
Wonderful itinerary.
The not-so-good:
The food -- both in Silhouette, and the Oceanview buffet, was inconsistent. Of course the buffet is prey to the usual buffet limitations...runny eggs, lukewarm food. Silhouette did some ...

Sailed on the constellation, last september, and found so much lacking this time.
Dining: service not as good, did not pay attention to what i ordered. the meat was always dry. one night we had lamb and everyone after said it was chewy and hard to eat at all.
Worst ever entertainment, only one show was really worth watching that was goronwy thom., the rest we saw last year nothing ...

I want to give it a 3.5 if 3 is average and 4 is very good.
After thorough researching I though I found a cruise ship with good food. I thought that with celebrity aligning themselves up with top chef and overall other friends of mine saying the food was not bad in the oceanview cafe, I thought it was be safe to assume MDR, and the pay restaurants would be great.
After my first experience at ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Wind Star

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
Acknowledging we're not "cruise people" and have no real desire to be on a huge ship after spending the afternoon in SanTorini with the crowds getting to the dock, so I have no comparison to the big ships, but we have taken Viking and they were better in every category in comparison; communication, food, tours, structure. WindStar seems to be lacking in communication in a lot of areas. We ...

Just returned from a cruise ,our third and probably our last ,it just continues downmarket
The destinations, general condition of the ship was fine but in our cabin the 3rd person, our daughter, was perched on a mattress on the sofa and made the cabin look like a teenage sleepover
The food, I am happy to accept that breakfast and lunch buffets are mass catering and was fine, but a bit more ...

We just returned from a 9 night cruise of the Mediterranean on the Rhapsody. Compared to other ships I've sailed on (Princess and Disney), it was fine. Not spectacular, but not bad. The staff was really great (always friendly and helpful), and the service was good. I was also impressed by how well organized things were. This was the easiest embarkation and disembarkation I've ever ...

I have been on many cruises with different cruiselines, but never on a princess cruise before. Because of many excellent reviews Princess was on my bucket list so I was more than happy to book this cruise.
I booked a balcony and was upgraded to a minisuite, nice surprise.
At Istanbul I had a transfer organized by Princess; worked perfect. We arrived at the ship something around 1 pm, ...

RCL are clearly lowering standards to accommodate the economy cruise market. The trouble is, having persuaded the more discerning passenger to trade up to Celebrity X, those standards are also plummeting.
But back to the Rhapsody.....On the plus side, with the exception of Athens, we found this to be a wonderful itinerary. The ship is dated but our balcony cabin, 7540, was adequate and ...

The ports on this cruise were amazing. Unfortunately, the ship was not. While the food quality was as good as can be expected, the entertainment was poorly scheduled at 7pm & 9 pm making both dinner and seeing the show difficult. There were movies on deck but no blankets or hot chocolate were provided. Amenities such as little bottles of lotion and shampoo are gone. (Even the chocolate on the ...
