Europe Cruise Reviews

We love to cruise but we’re limited where we can cruise to and from due to Covid so chose the MSC virtuoso cruise in the uk mainland. Have done around 10 cruises with various lines, RC, Celebrity, P&O, Carnival, Princess, 1st time with MSC. We’re actually still cruising on it as I write - staff are very attentive and friendly, no waiting for food or drink orders even though there is only table ...

OK, Last minute booking. Booked Sunday to sail following Saturday. Only 900 passengers on a large ship gave us more crew than passengers, Plenty of room to move around and very good service. Boarding in Southampton Very easy. Parking along side ship. Had to show proof of vacination and covid insurance. Then usual check in, and security. Next we had a lateral flow covid test and waited ...

This was our second visit on this brand new ship, went on the maiden 4 day cruise, then two weeks later a seven day cruise Although their were only 1000 on board, we met some lovely people, very strange with so few, but allowed us to see all areas of ship easily and what a beauty she is. Thank you MSC for keeping us so safe, what an amazing time we had, a wonderful trip to Liverpool and ...

We had river cruised with Viking before so decided to give an Ocean Cruise a go. We could not fault the friendliness and politeness of the staff who I think outnumbered the guests on this cruise by roughly 400 to 300. What slightly took the edge off our enjoyment of the cruise was the fact that the crew had only been vaccinated once and even though we had had 2 jabs, our having to wear masks ...

I have to say what great value this cruise was 4 nights for under £400 including drinks and tips with no single supplement. There were under 900 passengers on a ship that holds over 6000 so plenty of space. I arrived at the port about 10.40 and check in was a doddle i was on board before 11.30 The food in the restaurant was really good i eat there every time apart for one time in the ...

So our cruise was the third short cruise which constitutes the maiden voyage of the Virtuosa. Embarkation was smooth, we waited about 20mins for the result of our covid test but then it was straight on board. The ship is stunning - brand new, very sparkly, from the crystal steps to the mirrored lifts via the glass wine cellar, all was shiny and beautiful. The staff were all friendly and ...

Just so you know, we are not travel agents or "in the biz" as such. We are reasonably experienced cruisers (this was our 70th) with no axe to grind. We have been on most, but not all operators, yet !! On a less than sunny May Thursday, my wife and i left home for a 4 day staycation on MSC VIRTUOSA. Once our car was parked we went to the port to board the ship. The port was quiet, but with ...

At last, after fourteen very long months we are back onboard a cruise ship, and whilst we are cruise veterans, we are Viking Virgins, and we were particularly excited to board the beautiful Viking Venus, a brand-new ship travelling round England from Portsmouth, on to Liverpool, the Scilly Isles, Falmouth, Portland and back to Portsmouth. Of course, because of Covid, things are a little bit ...

Oh God have we missed cruising !! As soon as MSC announced UK Staycation Cruises WITHOUT the need for 2 Covid vaccinations, we couldn't wait to set sail. MSC have been leading the way with Covid-Safe Cruising since last August, which gave us complete confidence in their tried and tested procedures. Every other cruise line is insisting on the double-jab which rules out many younger cruisers and ...

We got to Treviso Cruise Terminal with economy private transfer directly from Piazzale Roma in Venice where we spent one week with our friends. After arriving in Terminal we had a bad experience with very long burocracy and had to wait about 4 hours before enter in the cabins. This MSC ship is one of the best and have incredible internal design. Our trip in Mediteranian was full of advantures, the ...
