Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Booked on 3rd cruise, ended up on 1st cruise. Feb 14 cancelled with four day’s notice. No communication from Princess. Would have cancelled if we could but they had our money. Ended up on a ship that was not ready to sail. Obvious cash grab by Princess. It was a bait and switch. All large performance venues closed. Many on deck amenities closed or broken. They did work tirelessly to fix stuff and ...

Free balcony casino player offer. Cabin lovely - glass shower enclosure, sofa, comfy twin beds, adequate closet and drawers. Still winter in Europe so balcony not used. Shows with guest performers in atrium seen on three levels. A few standouts but no theater experiences in arena. Area 19 closed. Buffet extra crowded and noisy at B&L. 7:30 deck 6/7 dining rooms had long lines waiting to be seated ...

Had the opportunity to cruise with Viking for the first time recently. We've done 21 cruises with most of the major players out there, and a few of the premium lines. Positives: - Very clean cabins with 2X day housekeeping - No cruisers under 18 years of age - Perfect sized ship - No upsell once on board - Embarkation / Disembarkation very easy - Decent selection of Video On ...

Ship, stateroom and staff were all great. For the cruise cost, other aspects of the experience were, in our view deficient. Our TV system was of such poor sound quality as to be inaudible and when reported it was clear that Viking had no more interest in a resolution than they do to responding to other constructive criticism. Food is generally quite good but not exceptional and some aspects are ...

My wife and I and my parents just returned from a 10-day Cruise on Carnival Venezia, leaving from NYC to the Caribbean. The cruise ship docks at Manhattan Cruise Terminal. We live in upstate NY, about 6 hours away. With 4 people, it’s cheaper to drive than fly. We booked 2 rooms in Fairfield Inn North Bergen. They had a Cruise Package that would let us park the car at the hotel for 10 days ...

We're seasoned cruisers with over 30 cruises on most of the major cruiselines but not Oceania. We went on 3 Oceania Riviera cruises in 2023, Sep/Oct from Amsterdam to Barcelona and then back to back cruises in Nov/Dec from Barcelona to Istanbul and then Istanbul to Dubai. My review is on all 3 cruises on the same ship. We booked the Holyland & Middle East cruise the first day it was available ...

I have nothing but good stuff to say about the ship and its staff. The blue collar workers you meet in the hallways and at the restaurants? Exceptional. My cabin was kept spotless, the hallways I walked were always clean and neat. Even if someone on the staff didn't speak a word of English, they made it clear that they were happy to be there to assist you. Our group had people with mobility ...

This trip was a last minute plan in September, 2023. The draw was a discount fare with free airfare to the Holy Land. My siblings and I decided to sign up The Holy Land visit was cancelled due to the conflict, October, 2023. We agreed to continue with the trip. I received a single rate Was my first Viking Ocean cruise, but a veteran of other cruise lines as well as a Viking River Cruise. I was ...

We sailed on the Grandeur's maiden voyage from Trieste to Barcelona, then continued on from Barcelona to Miami. The ship largely met the many glowing reviews, with the Compass Rose main dining room the most stunning MDR we have experienced. Service was flawless and, contrary to early reviews, we found the production shows excellent with the talent of the performers, costumes, and staging all a ...

Given the marketing, the press coverage and the claims of “the world’s most luxurious ship” with a "heritage of perfection”, we were very excited and prepared to have our mind blown on the inaugural cruise of this new vessel. In retrospect, as relatively new to cruising, we should have done more research on Regent and their vibe. Now don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot to like about Grandeur, but ...
