Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

Its my wife's birthday on the 26th November, so we always like to take a short cruise to celebrate the occasion. We are frequent cruisers (70+) with Cunard/Princess/P&O and others, but since experiencing the MSC Yacht Club on the Virtuosa, immediately after Covid in June 2021, we now mainly only cruise with MSC, but it has to be in the Yacht Club. For those of you who have never experienced ...

Our cruise on MSC Euribia was not only our first time on this new ship, but also our first cruise with MSC. This was our 19th cruise, past experiences have been with P & O, Marella, Princess and NCL. We decided to book this cruise only two weeks before sailing. This was mainly because we had been through quite a terrible period and I really wanted my Husband to have some time away. I took a ...

This was mine and my husbands first cruise. We had chosen this as our Honeymoon so decided to do the Arcadia as child free and we wanted to see the Northern Lights. I knew this cruise would be older generation (I am 40 and one of youngest there) I had done my research and we booked a year in advance (one so we could save up and have balcony room for space and two so we had plenty of time ...

Mostly pleasant experience. The restaurants are well stocked with varieties of food options, both at the fine dining and buffet market place restaurants. Loads of onboard activities and entertainments. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Modern amenities everywhere. The lifts, the booking system, the bar service are all automated. The only complaint I have is the lack of live TV service. The ...

Hi, I'm an experienced cruiser who tried MSC for the first time Thanksgiving week out of Southampton, England. MSC acknowledged Thanksgiving day in its daily program, but there was no celebration dinner in the main dining room or buffet. I've read many negative things about MSC, most of which I did not experience. One of the nice things about MSC is that they status match (I received Gold ...

We chose Cunard because it was named as a Northern Lights Cruise. We wanted to see Norway, Northern Lights and Viking Villages. The Cunard transfers to get to the ship and back were seamless. Great flights, the shuttle service was on time and accommodating both directions. The ship onboard and offboard process was seamless and easy. The cabin steward and purser staff were very helpful and ...

I like MSC Cruises and I'm not a part or full time snob. I pay a fantastic price and feel you get more for what you paid to be fair. The ship is clean although slob passengers seem hell bent on wrecking the ship, mass stains on furniture etc, MSC do a great job keeping it clean and very presentable. We have been treated to excellent shows every single night, well last night was a bit ...

We generally sail the Caribbean and wanted to visit another region. We arrived at South Hampton the morning of sailing with a short 1.5 hour drive to port with plenty of time to spare (8PM sailing). The embarkation in a wheel chair was a bit cumbersome, never the less ok. We didn't partake in any of the outdoor amenities due to weather, cold and drizzling. The live entertainment was very good ...

My wife and I cruised on Iona last summer and apart from the poor service in the bars and main dining rooms due to a lack of staff we were very impressed. We found a big improvement in service this time in what turned out to be a very eventful cruise to Northern Europe. We had a fire in the Atrium on the day of boarding after a battery on a mobile scooter exploded and caught fire in a very ...

I shall return to the reason for my title heading a little later in this review. We had not cruised with Celebrity in twenty years (the last being on the Infinity in Alaska) so therefore not in their Solstice class ships, so it was hard to give a true comparison, except to say that by and large this cruise was great value for money! Both pre and post covid, we have chosen to sail on the ...
