Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

It was the first cruise the TUI travel agent found which went to Barcelona. It sounded great we paid for a balcony cabin each so very expensive. It was the opposite of luxurious. Far too many people on-board approximately 6500, 1400 of which were children. We chose 1July as it is before schools break up for summer holidays. Travel agent didn't warn us that in Scotland schools close much earlier. ...

I can’t deny that it’s great to be on a new ship, everything is new and fresh. The destinations are great and we visited some lovely places. There are a lot of interior rooms on the Euribia and the ceilings are extremely low; it feels like effort was made to accommodate more people. We found the ship extremely busy, really a lot of people to the point of feeling claustrophobic. With poor ...

Chose cruise as Southampton based and 7 days which is all I can be away at the moment. Looked like it would be good with numerous bars, restaurants etc. The ship is new and huge. Too big for the logistics of getting people on and off (especially in La Rochelle where the queue for return shuttles practically blocked the town) and too big for a decent service level in the bars. Staff generally ...

Wanted to try this ship with the curved LED roof in the atrium and never tried MSC before so good opportunity to kill two birds etc. First the good points; A very large ship plenty of bars and lovely atrium with shops etc and above mentioned LED roof panel, which is probably the most impressive feature of the ship. There is a large circular stage venue at the rear of the ship that has ...

Food awful and you have to fight for it. All restaurants are booked via an app which wants you to eat at 5-6pm. When you actually get a table after pushing unfriendly staff- it is functional but not good. Cabin- dont bother with the bidding for an upgrade. I did and am convinced this was worse than our original cabin. We have been on a number of cruises and would never return to P&O. One ...

The experience was average. The food is good in the main dining room with good service. But the food in the buffet is average at best ( and for a medium high cruise line this is disappointing ). The price of the additional packages are excessive. Imagine you are on a 8 day cruise ( 7 days effectively as the last day finished at 6 am ), paying GBP 72 for a classic drink package ( effectively ...

1. Deck 8 and 9 on Viking have outdoors areas with rows of sunbeds - but no shade: No sun shades. No awnings. No shadow. 2. The “Pool Deck” is indoors(!) It does have a retractable glass roof but because they rarely retract it, the vast area is hot, humid and smelly most of the time. Uninhabitable. Behind the - indoors - swimming pool is a big, square room with a (permanent) glass roof called ...

First and last cruise we will ever go on absolute nightmare! Greedy people rude people can I get off now ! Can’t get in any of the nicer restaurants for breakfast or dinner because all the expert sad cruisers have booked on the stupid app! This is nightmare of a system as they book and don’t turn up wasting valuable spaces ! So we have to go to the buffet ( fight club we’ve nicknamed it !) push ...

I wanted to go to Iceland. I booked this trip thinking I was going there only to find out at the last minute that I was actually going to Norway. I could not pronounce the names of the cities that we were going to and as you can see with the title it does not say Iceland in it. I, also, thought I was in a room with a partial view, and I had a full tender with the lowering device right in front ...

In the past we sailed before with princess cruises, msc, carnival cruises, norwegian cruiseline and oceania to different locations. In general we prefer to see new destinations all over the world while we are still young. Therefore the destination, the port of calls and overall price are the main factors for us choosing the cruise line we use. Because the benefits as a loyal guest are usually like ...
