Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

The room looked nice but opened the curtains to the balcony and turned around to see hair from previous guests everywhere and something had been spilled all down the front of the table and fridge. Nothing seemed to be sanitized ( same dirty rag to wipe down tables without a spray of disinfectant on all outside deck areas and the Eatery tables). In the Eatery breakfast and lunch served the same ...

Having cruised a dozen or so times with several lines, we decided on Celestyal for a short 4 night cruise out of Lavrion. The itinerary was the selling point along with the timing- my daughter's Spring Break kept us locked into a specific week. We knew it probably would be a step down from the Holland Americas of the world but figured the islands visited would make up the deficit. When we booked, ...

Pros.. the balcony room was of a good size and didn't disappoint. The excursions were well organised but only in English. free shuttles from some of the ports to town centre were offered. The entertainment was good enough. Cons... the ship deals only in English. Excursions only offered in English even though departing from Athens. Everything is geared towards American traveller; the air ...

I thought given reviews that Viking would give us a superior experience, not a superior attitude. I erred. Problems began, and ended, with Viking Air. We spent over $12,000 on air alone to get .... not a ticket. Viking and Viking Air were unable to fix the problem despite our time on the phone with both AND assurances that they had. So, our trip started with the customer service agent ...

This was our 14th cruise crossing mulitple cruise lines (Viking, Royal, Azamara, HAL) and now Princess for the first time. Our trip was going to be the 4th cruise of the Sun Princess, but it turned out to be the second I believe. I still have high expectations for Princess as they didnt communicate any issues with the boat prior to departure. We did upgrade to a balcony room. We had another room ...

They advertise and promised a vacation that wasn't what we paid for... Loss of most important stop, Santorini, and the replacement wasn't even close in comparison! So much of the entertainment wasn't up and running, and won't be for quite a while! There is no Spellbound, no Love by Britto, no shows in the Dome, reduced replacement shows in the arena and Piazza. It not even close to what is ...

I was advised that being on the inaugural cruise is like being the guinea pig. Therefore, I purposely chose the third sailing of the new Sun Princess cruise. However, due to the cancellation of the first two sailings, we ended up on the inaugural cruise. I was excited, thinking that everything on the cruise would be brand new, and I hoped the advice I got wasn't true. As it turns out, my friend ...

We picked this cruise originally as it was to be the 3rd cruise on Sun Princess as it turned out it was the inaugural cruise which was more expensive at the time of booking but we felt by the 3rd cruise all would be working what a mistake!!! Princess should have let us know before we travelled that the theatre and park 19 would be unavailable to us instead just giving 60$ each when we on board ...

Imagine this scenario: Princess Cruiseline sends out an email to booked passengers for the 2/28 Inaugural (by default after 2/8 and 2/18 were canceled) cruise. The email discloses that, despite their best efforts, the ship just isn't quite ready yet. Never the less, they have decided to sail as planned vs canceling outright. This fantasy email gave passengers the option of rescheduling to a ...

Review of Viking Sky 2023/24 World Cruise. For 4 months per year my wife and I have been avid cruisers. Firstly 18 with Azamara, but since their sad decline we switched to Viking. Now with 8 completed, and enjoyed, it was sad to see how far Viking standards have fallen. We found this on our recent segmented 2 legs on this world cruise. This was after we were initially notified that we were ...
