Always wanted to see the Mediterranean countries and the architecture and culture.
We had been told about this cruise in 2015 when we were on the Legend
The ship was great but the tour company needs to step up their game.
Amenities onboard were great and the staff fantastic as you expect from Viking.
The various restaurants had excellent food and choices. The staff couldn’t do enough ...
The service aboard the Viking Star was exceptional, and truly made our cruise experience very special. We want to pass along our sincere thanks to the excellent staff on the Viking Star.
There were some special occasions for us during the cruise. My husband celebrated his 60th birthday, and we also celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. The staff went out of their way to remember these ...
Awesome cruise! We have sailed over 25 times, however this was our first Viking Ocean Cruise. Having sailed on a Viking River Cruise we elected to give the ocean cruise a try. The cruise was fantastic. All aspects from embarkation to debarkation were exactly as advertised and seamless. The cruise staff was professional, friendly and quite knowledgeable. The cabin was clean and very well appointed. ...
I chose this cruise because of the itinerary. The islands we visited were beautiful and the weather was fantastic even in April. We booked a Royal Caribbean Excursion for each port of call and everyone of them was well organised and very interesting.
Embarkation was a breeze. We checked in online a few weeks before and from the time we arrived at the port we were given all the details of our ...
Jewel of the Seas - Royal Caribbean What a wonderful ship she is. We had a great mid ship balcony cabin # 9616. A cabin steward that was perfect. Food was great entertainment was good. We went to 2 shows and they were better than expected. They had music on the ship strings in the main area everyday so you could just listen and relax before and after dinner. We enjoyed this. There was also a band ...
This cruise began in Rome and went to various Greek Islands, then back to Italy at Naples and then concluded at Rome. It was nine days, two of which were sea days. We booked excursions at each port and prior to the cruise, we spent a week in Rome. Greece was in ruins. Well, actually, there were a lot of other things, too. We thought the best two ports were Crete and Rhodes from a history ...
Ship is very beautiful and well laid out - enjoyed the central elevators. Service staff was exceptional - excluding the Excursion Desk (unless). Very disappointed in the food served - the Italian influence was missing - I have traveled in Europe and did not recognize this reported influence - a staff person reported that being a repositioning cruise the quality was diminished. This was Basic ...
We have done several cruises with Holland America and we really like them. The ships are clean and classy and they have itineraries that we like. We always consider every availability but frequently choose Holland America for these reasons.
The ports were excellent and the amount of time allocated for each port we thought adequate.
We don't use the cruise ship tours. We prefer to find ...
I would try to give an honest review. First of all I would like to start of saying that I read a lot of negative reviews and was a bit upset before going on this cruise, but thankfully I read them after I booked so I could not really change anything. At this point I can say that the people who wrote those reviews either had high expectations or very spoiled. Now let me start my review with saying ...
We chose this cruise because of the great ports and we were not disappointed! We loved every place we went and had beautiful weather. We got to Venice several days in advance and took a Viator tour to the Dolmites the day before the cruise. It was incredible and I'd recommend it to anyone who has extra time in Venice and has been to Venice before. We stayed at the Hotel Papadopoli, which was very ...
