Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

About us: I'm in my early 60s and my GF is in her late 50s. I've cruised over 20 times, mostly on Celebrity & MSC. Full Thread/Blog: I did a day-by-day write-up called "We board Infinity in about an hour. Let me know if you have any questions". It goes into considerably more detail. Overview: This was a 7 day cruise out of Ravenna, which is about 3 hours from Venice. It stopped in ...

We chose this Celebrity cruise because it seemed to have some interesting and exotic ports. The cruise line was an important choice, but the ship didn't seem to be that important. But we were pleasantly surprised. The Infinity is about 20 years old, and to be honest, it could stand to be freshened up. The decor seemed dated, but clean and in good shape. The Infinity can hold a little over 2,000 ...

This September we took the 15 night In-Depth Adriatic & Aegean cruise Oceania cruise from Valletta Malta to Istanbul. We had the standard oceanview cabin on the Nautica. The cabin was very nice and the bed was absolutely heavenly. There was some noise due to being right across from the door the crew used to get to their own cabins but no noise from above or either side. We had plenty of ...

We wanted to try a shorter Crystal cruise in anticipation of a planned 2024 partial world cruise and were generally quite satisfied with the rebirth of our favorite cruise line. Sure, there were some shortcomings that one ought to expect on a shakedown cruise--the pool wasn't finished until the third day, TV was unworkable, water was turned off for one five-hour announced period, etc. However, ...

We chose this cruise because it covered areas we had not seen and we were anxious to see the Eastern Adriatic and Barcelona. Taking a cue from the questionnaires we were given on the ship, I’d like to review our overall Viking experience. First, our overall experience on the cruise was probably above our expectations, as we had not been on an ocean cruise for a number of years and that ...

I recently embarked on a Mediterranean cruise with MSc Musica, and overall, it was a memorable experience. The cleanliness of the rooms, particularly on Deck 8, truly stood out; they were impeccably maintained throughout the journey, ensuring a comfortable stay. The real stars of the cruise, however, were the staff. The waiters, including Walber, Josue in the L’Oleandro restaurant and Santosh ...

I've mostly sailed in Mexico and Western Caribbean. I've always wanted to do the Western Mediterranean. I found this big ship beautiful and well maintained. Everything was polished and clean. The service was great as always in the restaurants, room service and attendant. We had a balcony room which was slightly smaller than the NCL cruiseships, but the balcony was generous. The twin beds really ...

My husband and I had booked this cuise for our honeymoon and we are from Canada. This was our first time in europe or a real cruise so this was a very big trip for us! Overall we would highly recommend the cuise and are planning to take another. Arriving to board the cruise initially: They do not joke around about getting on at your scheduled time. If your time slot is 4 pm you do not get ...

Traveling to these counties was somewhere we had never been. The actual cruise was terrific. The pre-trip was fine, nothing great. The guides and excursions were usually just an average. One in Vidin Bulgaria was terrific. Nothing in context with regards to history or inclusion (lots of churches and according to guides no synagogues, even when they were 1 or 2 blocks away) and we found them on ...

This is our first time sailing on Holland America. We did Disney, Carnival, Princess, Norwegian, and Celebrity before. Comparing to other cruise lines, the most impressive point on HAL was their services. We liked their food. We required a fixed table in the dinning room. Our waiter/waitress are very friendly and provided exceptional services. The room stewards also did an excellent ...
