Europe Cruise Reviews

The very good bits: The ship and embarkation were wonderful, cabins lovely and well laid out, balcony restricted views were great. The waiting staff and cabin staff were as good as any other ship. Lounges good but theatre too small as most ships and 5 year olds not allowed to stand or sit to watch show because suite guests have pre reserved seats. I’ve not seen that before but signs of the ...

We are on the final day of a 7 day northern European cruise on the Enchanted Princess and thought I would provide a brief overview as we head back to Southampton. This is our first cruise on Princess, but we have been on NCL pre-Pandemic. We chose Princess as we thought this would be a level up from NCL. The ship itself is beautiful and well designed. The bars and restaurants are ...

Rio de Janiero to Lisbon April 8, 2022 16 nights My first MSC experience was the Opera in 2004. I had a great, 5-day cruise from San Juan to Florida. The crew was accommodating; the cruise director, in particular. He remembered my name after we met. I’ve been eager to sail MSC again, so when I saw a sailing from Rio to Lisbon, I just had to book it. I loved the ship, enjoyed wonderful ...

This was originally set for the Vietnam cruise in Feb 2020 which we decided to cancel due to COVID. Selected this cruise due to the destinations. Tour guides were hit or miss, with most being a miss. Extra cost for Vienna Opera house not worth it. Had small, short program in a side room, did not get to see any of the opera house other than when we entered and departed, very disappointed. Went ...

Having the possibility to board directly in Lisbon, made all the difference. This was my first MSC cruise and I enjoyed it very much. The employees were outstanding at all levels! Many thanks and praises to the staff at the Ville Bourgeoise restaurant, you are the best!!! Also, at the buffet diniung, despite the number of guests, they were always very empathetic and professional. The ...

We have cruised regularly on Cunard cruises for 15 years. The service provided by the waiters, bar staff and our cabin steward was the usual high standard. The food in the Princess Grill in the evenings was good. However the hot meals in the self service Lido were invariably luke warm/cold. The cost of drinks has risen with a large glass of wine costing on average around 13 US dollars. Our ...

Seemed like the whole time they were pushing to sell products(mostly jewelry). Took time out of the excursions/activities to sell us products even being pushy putting us in a closed rooms that felt like abduction. Gave no really time at all for the historical sites paid for. Regular dinning was bland and had multiple problems with main dinning. Ship activities having hidden prices till you show ...

I chose this VV cruise for my 60th birthday celebration with 2 long-time friends because it is an adults only cruise. The ship was impeccably clean, the staff were almost all absolutely amazing and our Brilliant Suite was very large and fit all three of us comfortably. The only negative experience was on the morning we arrived. Our flight arrive in Barcelona at 6:30 am so we were at the port by ...

We chose this cruise as friends had been on it Before and said how good it was. Having done many previous cruises with Royal Caribbean, Princess, P&O, Carnval and the first ever withThomson (Tui-now Marella), I was expecting exciting things: believing that Celebrity were the 5* cruise line (out of the Carnival owned ships). Currently onboard and whilst aspects of the cruise are good, there are ...

A few facts to start with.. Azamara Journey, France Intensive. Barcelona to Nice over seven nights stopping at seven ports. Three tendered ports, the remaining docked. All docked ports were in best berth in that particular port. No requirement for a free bus into town at any location. Perfect seamanship, the Journey arrived and departed exactly on schedule each day. Captains broadcasts kept to ...
