Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Lirica

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

The cruise ship is old and kinda dirty. The shore excursions were disorganized (the tenderboats were in late, you have to wait for the buses in 40°C no shade for sure). The staff at the pool bar didn't want to work, often just looked away, to avoid eyecontact, it was on their face that they HATE their job and hate the guests. The food selection is poor, especially at dinner (only vegetables? ...

Chose this cruise for the value and destinations. 5th cruise we’ve been on. Beautiful boat but plenty of things let it down. Things to do: in one word BORING. Lack of activities, terrible music and shows, and not one place you can go without kids. Casino full of kids running around and even the nightclub is run by 15 year olds drinking mock tails by the bar. When I asked the staff where I ...

Very overcrowded

We chose MSC Davina as we were hoping for a memorable experience, however our expectations were shattered due to several issues. Firstly we were disappointed with how overcrowded the cruise was it was completely oversold. Throughout our time on board we struggled to find anywhere to sit or access to the pools. This made it challenging to relax and unwind or to fully enjoy the amenities advertised ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

I recently embarked on an MSC Cruise "Lirica" with high hopes for an unforgettable family vacation. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired, tarnished by issues ranging from subpar food and outdated facilities to a distressing incident with my special needs son. While some crew members proved to be exceptional, others displayed rude behavior that soured the overall ...

Not worth the money

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Norwegian Breakaway

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

We chose this cruise based on the destinations. We were excited and paid premium for many areas and it was not worth the money. Some workers didn’t even seem happy to be there. The way they handled the itinerary was sad-spending all day in ports where things were closed and minimal time on ports with the most flair. The excursions were extremely over-priced and not worth the money. So many people ...

I chose this ship because it was new and different. Read some bad reviews before my trip but I went ahead with an open mind. The ship itself wasn't terrible but it was not great either. I will not book again. The ship is too small for the number of passengers. Dining room and lido food is sub-par. Bonsai Tappenyaki was great. Casino is small and near capacity most sea days. No adults only pool and ...

Disappointing experience

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Marella Explorer

We would recommend Marella as a budget cruise option. This was our third cruise with Marella, but we feel there has been a decline in the standards since our last cruise 4 years ago. Marella still provides more stops than other cruise operators, and the all inclusive nature of the cruise is appealing. But we noticed that the food in particular was significantly worse than last time. It was ...

My wife and I had a major Viking cruise credit left from the pandemic in 2020. As we did not wish to lose the major dollars in our account, we chose a cruise really based on using up the dollar balance, as Viking would not let us sail on multiple cruises leaving us with a zero balance. Initially, we boarded the Viking Sky and yes, the ship is clean as any cruise ship we have sailed on. We ...

We chose Explorer 2 because of the locations visited we have done four cruises now with them over the years but now unfortunately since Covid the quality of the food is appalling Luke warm if you’re lucky and over the years I have used them the menu hasn’t changed . The staff are excellent and always a smile although some of restaurant staff don’t listen to what you want of the menu and couldn’t ...
