Free at sea, cannot compensate for bad service and a bad ship.

Chose the ship to revisit the Mediterranean. Big mistake. Hair in the food on embarkation lunch. Hair in the food in the main dining room. Ship is very old with tattered carpet and chairs in the theater. If this is a refurbished ship, it needs to be retired. Boring cruise, Director with little to no interaction with us on the ship. Entertainment venues were mediocre at best. One night they just ...

To say this cruise was a disappointment would be an understatement! We came on Norwegian for our Honeymoon and I have never regretted a vacation more. I’ll try and make this as short as possible. Day 1 after everyone was on board they canceled 2 of our ports and an entire country off our itinerary, which was 1 of 2 countries we cared about going to. Unfortunately, we found this out at 11pm in a ...

Very smooth experience priority boarding in terminal. I had booked two suites and the Aurea experience, so we had a nice check in. It ended there as there was a long queue and wait for the tender. Apparently, the boat was late arriving and therefore late disembarking. These things happen but we weren't informed and had to sit freezing on the tender for over two hours and felt very ...

The MSC Armonia is old and tired. Smoking is allowed in the casino and outside at designated smoking areas. Doesn’t make the ship smell very nice. The tendering process for embarking was not explained beforehand and is extremely slow. Service is awful in the restaurants as well as the quality of food. The only reason we picked this specific cruise/company was the travel dates. Bed sheets were ...

Azamara's tech upgrade is a nightmare. You cannot log into your record, even though they say that they are working on those pax within 30 days. Nope. After 4 hours on hold, I finally got a person who only abandoned the call. To add insult to injury I was beyond polite to her and never raised my voice. The upgrade wasn't her fault. However leaving my call was! The enormous headache is so ...

This cruise was just awful. This was our ninth cruise overall and second Norwegian cruise. We left the ship after day four (of a 9 day cruise) and will never step foot on a Norwegian ship again. It started bad with an itinerary change conveniently after the ability to get a refund. We lost all of the Black Sea ports with the war in Ukraine given as the reason. The war had been going on for 9 ...

Disappointing Guest Services, less Haven perks, mediocre entertainment

We booked this cruise years ago because of Ukraine and the Black Sea, understandably, Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria was dropped, but we hoped for the best at Greek Isles. Our group spent 2-3 extra days at Athens prior to boarding, and started off with an extensive 2-day land tour with with no less than an archeologist, MariaElena Christopoulou. Daughter made all arrangements for tours and ...

I spent six weeks travelling through South Africa and decided to return to Europe by cruise. In spring 2023 there were exactly five ships doing this. Costa, Aida, Phoenix and two MSC vessels. Costa visited on the world cruise and no cabin was available. Aida did a fast track through the Atlantic Ocean and mainly visited ports in Europe, in my opinion no attractive itinerary. Phoenix did extensive ...

We travelled on a 30 day “Grand Voyage” from Cape Town to Venice on the MSC Sinfonia in March/April 2023. This is a 3.5 star vessel, and the onboard experience met or slightly exceeded expectations at that price point. The ship is well maintained, and the food entertainment and service are normally good. Note, this ship was cut in two and more cabins inserted. This put a strain on the facilities ...

A companion and myself were on a 21 day cruise . What a disappointment!!! The food was average ( nothing great ) but the brochure made it sound like the food would be of Michelin restaurant quality. Day after day the same thing was served with small differences. For the cost of this cruise the food should have been of a much higher quality The shower drains seem to be too small for the ...
