Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

While we enjoyed most ports and enjoyed our vacation, we were overall disappointed with how Azamara has changed. The biggest disappointment was with the quality of the food in the main restaurant (Discoveries). We've taken many cruises (and 3 others with Azamara) and can easily say this was the worst food we've experienced on any of them. While we enjoyed the quality of the linens in the ...

I loved the staff, the service and honestly the maintenance of the ship is overall very good. I would give them 4.5 to 5 stars in most cases. The ship however is old from the perspective of activities and value. Activities are very limited compared to other vessels both in terms of physical offerings such as recreational opportunities but also in terms of creativity. Other ships have mini ...

Although I'm a veteran cruiser (more than 19 cruises at this point), this was my first experience on a Star Clippers ship. Sailing on this type of a ship offers a unique cruise experience, and in my opinion has the following pros and cons: PROS: • The Star Flyer has a passenger capacity of 170 max, but we had 155 on our sailing with all rooms occupied but one. This low passenger count ...

My husband and I sailed on the Oosterdam Sept 14th, 2023 - October 8th, 2023. This was a 24 day trip starting in Barcelona and ending in Athens, Greece. When booking, everything that could have wrong did. I was given misinformation about having an assigned cabin and having premium economy flights. This was straightened out by a very helpful Resolution Specialist. We received an email from ...

We were looking forward to our first Celebrity cruise after hearing so many rave comments by our friends. In some ways, they were exactly right - the cabins were among the best we've found in the various cruises we've taken. On the other hand, the dining was not nearly as exceptional as they made it sound and the entertainment ranged from excellent to merely soso. Overall, we had a very nice ...

Celebrity was our favorite Cruise line and first choice for cruising. Not any more. Our first impression once on board was great. We had a infinite balcony on level 6 and loved it. The decor in all areas of the ship was first class. We paid for the all inclusive package that was extremely disappointing. All the classic cocktails tasted like they were made with watered down spirits. The ...

This is our 4th cruise with Celebrity. We were disappointed. The personal service was lacking. It used to be that we felt pampered and built a relationship with our dinner crew. The seated dinner became boring. The food was mundane and mashed potatoes every night. No refills of wine or coffee. The sirloin New York was thin and always overcooked. It was almost like airline food! Our Anniversary ...

We love cruising. Based on our previous cruises the bar has been set high, last year with Princess. Could Virgin’s new, quirky style run rings around the establishment? ~ Pre-cruise experience merits a mention. Virgin Voyages App. The hapless App had to be used to book a variety of things eg dining, entertainment. So bad, we had messages to us that were untrue, some folk were told the cruise ...

This is the second cruise we’ve been on with NCL. (The first was on the Pearl.) We’ve been wanting to go to Greece for a while now. Our travel agent told us a cruise would be the best way to see a variety of the islands. First of all their website is slow and horrible. When you purchase anything it takes a while to show up on your account. Don’t bother uploading your photo. We tried several times ...

We choose Marella because we could depart from a local airport, and the most important to us were the destinations. Another plus was only one sail day in the week. The destinations lived up to our expectations and the sail into Koper was lovely. However, we found the dining below average, two meals were sent back. They were aware of problems, new staff, poorly trained and hadn’t worked as a ...
