Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Embarkation Port: Per NCL this cruise left out of Venice...or so we thought. NCL listed the embarkation port as Venice (Trieste). In every cruise I have ever taken, the embarkation port is in the city listed so we assumed Trieste was close to Venice. Trieste is 2 HOURS away from Venice by taxi or train. Since we thought the cruise left out of Venice, we had not booked our train to Venice in ...

We chose this cruise because of the ports of call in Israel. We do not like the Edge Class ships although we have sailed on The Edge in the past. We prefer the Solstice Class ships having cruised with Celebrity 19 times before. We do not like: The 4 free restaurants, instead of the main dining room on the Solstice Class ships, although labelled Cyprus, Tuscan, Normandie and Cosmopolitan each ...

The ship overall has a nice lay-out. The crew was really great a high level of service from the Windjammer to the MDR The cabin boy did a great job. The food is not bad but at best mediocre. Well to be honest it was a little bit disappointing. Fish was most of the time really overcooked, so had to send it back Using the mandatory app to make reservations is a disaster. Lots of times ...

My sister booked a cruise and I decided to join her. The itinerary was really great and we enjoyed all of the ports. The staff are probably not treated all that well by the employer as some were very good and many were not...rushed, inefficient, and likely not trained. Our cabin steward was fantastic. I had only been on smaller cruise lines before (Azamara and Viking ocean cruises) and would ...

This was our chance to cruise with the whole family. We went with our daughter, our son and his wife and also our two grandchildren. We hadn't cruised to most of the ports before and we particularly looked forward to Dubrovnik and Santorini. As it happens, Mykonos and Split were were well worth a visit too; Dubrovnik: It is a wonderful place with great atmosphere, incredible architecture, and ...

We were "ship-wrecked" due to captain's error. Viking reimbursed us fairly (and pretty quickly after a ridiculous low-ball offer) and we did enjoy the time on board. But missing 4 ports of 9 and coming home with Covid made this long-awaited cruise Very Disappointing. I don't know if I will ever get back to Italy and Kosovo and Greece. The staff worked SO hard to keep the ...

Let me begin with the positives, the ship is gorgeous, the design of the spaces was really well done. In terms of entertainment, the nightly shows were fantastic and Tim, the cruise director was a lot of fun. Now for where the ship needs improvement, biggest fail was the food. The food was horrible. I ate in several dining rooms and my favorite food on board was no joke the fresh pineapple ...

This back to back (12 + 7) days cruise was booked one year ago. Four weeks before departure we were informed by Oceania that our chosen stateroom 7004 was unavailable for "Maritime Technical" reasons. We chose this particular cabin because of the extended balcony. Phone call queries with both our Travel Agent and Oceania as to what this term meant proved fruitless. We eventually agreed with ...

Just want to start off saying that the ship and crew are fabulous. We’ve been on more than 10 Celebrity Cruises over the years, back after Covid, and things have changed. Firstly I must say the entertainment was excellent and so were the itinerary and shore excursions. The breakfast and lunch buffets were also excellent. The problems begin with dinner. The first night we were given a card in our ...

After 21 Celebrity cruises we were looking forward to this post-Covid cruise. This shows we have previously been very satisfied with the Celebrity product. We had Celebrity flights and transfers, couldn't find any rep when coming out of arrivals, then the coach driver got lost. We are Captain's club Elite Plus but the only priority boarding was for Suite passengers. Captain's club benefits ...
