Mainly choose this cruise since it was relatively easy to book at a late date prior and was interested in the ports of call. Had been to most of ports before both cruise and non-cruise.
Embarkation was relatively smooth, but there was a free shuttle service from train station that we were not aware so ended up walking. My miss, but I think NCL could have done a better job promoting ...
Me and my partner needed something to look forward to when in lockdown during Corona so we booked this trip with many months of waiting until departure. When the date was getting closer Royal Caribbean send much information regarding the safety on board and information about restrictions. It was a bit of a hassle to get the testing done when we arrived in Athens and do it at approved services ...
Our cruise seemed about half full - perhaps a bit more - only half of the breakfast buffet at the very back of the ship was open each morning.
Make sure you download the app before getting on the ship!
I've uploaded one day's worth of the Freestyle Daily as photos.
Service - It seems like Norwegian has been reading the reviews here, because some of the things other people complained ...
Last cruise pre-pandemic was on the Regal (for us) in December 2019 and first Princess cruise since the pandemic was also on the Regal. Sailed from Rome to Athens (May 28 - June 4) and from Athens to Barcelona (June 4 - 11). First back to back cruise for us. Used Princess' suggested hotels and transfers at both Rome and Barcelona ports. Arrived at port in Rome, had to take a covid test since I ...
21 day Cruise (3 back to backs) Booked flights through EZ Air Flew directly from San Francisco - Barcelona on LEVEL Airlines. After multiple last moment airline changes Princess put us on Level and Princess rep had never heard of LEVEL airline was and sadly is not a good airline, filthy toilets, lazy sullen crew who did not care. There is no food, no water, no cushion, no headphone or blanket ...
Destinations were excellent. Crew very nice. Food ok but not spectacular. Technical staff not qualified to change a cabin light bulb in my opinion. Waited 45 minutes at 11 pm to have someone open our cabin door. Only one person on the ship had a mechanical key. Next day, they decided to change the battery. That lasted 24 hours. Tried again next day as door would not open again. Supervisor ...
Apparently the first couple of cruises were pretty rocky according to reviews (and the Captain's public comments) but by our sailing the problems seemed to have been ironed out. Our wheelchair cabin was clean and newly-furnished including a well-designed shower. Service as usual was friendly, attentive and responsive. Food in both main dining room and specialty venues left nothing to complain ...
We liked the thought of such a new yacht, the itinerary looked good and we did not want to be on a ship with thousands of others, this was exclusive without being over the top , casual, relaxed, could go to small ports and you felt special.
The staff were amazing, especially Dean the Cruise Director who made it feel as if every guest was important and was doing the job because he loved it, not ...
This was a cruise of the Greek isles out of Athens. There were just 99 passengers on this cruise which meant you got to know just about everyone. There was one major problem during the cruise with most of the culinary staff testing positive for Covid the second day of the cruise. The restaurant were closed for the remainder of the cruise with a buffet set up and served in the main lobby of the ...
This is a beautiful yacht with wonderful service while on board. The food was five star with wonderful variety and healthy options. The room and balcony were breath taking. All the stops in Croatia were beautiful. The staff was attentive to all your needs while on board. They need to fine tune their ability to keep passengers informed and communicate to all the staff any changes to daily ...
