Had a Balcony room on the 14th floor The Balcony had some serious rust issues to make it quite unappealing to sit outside.
But when you get to a port and look at the rest of the ship, it's understood why, there is quite a bit of Rust showing thru..... while other cruise lines do painting maintenance while in port, never saw any NCL personnel with even a paint rush.
It needs some serious ...
Although our cruise choices are by no means exclusively with Saga, we chose this cruise as we have enjoyed several cruises with them in the past and this one particularly suited us having recently had a few health issues to cope with. We're never quite convinced that Saga's all-inclusive offering is the value for money they claim it to be but the fact that (nearly) everything is paid for in ...
OK I have read all the reviews about this ship and had very low expectations. We are an Irish couple who have cruised with Royal, NCL and mostly Princess and a few MSC. The price was good and we thought well it can’t be that bad.
It was a great cruise.
Food excellent good variety and quality. Tip avoid the buffet it is a bit manic. Go to the dining room for breakfast lunch and dinner and ...
Loved this cruise. Certainly helped by great weather and low price but also had very interesting ports of call of Thessaloniki (where we overnighted, and especially enjoyed), Kusadasi, Limassol, Rhodes and Heraklion. I've reviewed all of these in the relevant Ports of Call sections). Ship itself looking good after a refit, staff very cheerful and helpful, and food variable but generally good ...
We have just returned from a cracking cruise on the MSC Euribia and we had a really good time.
The embarkation was so smooth and from dropping off the bags to getting to the room was all of 10 minutes with the bags coming 10 minutes after that. Disembarkation was also very smooth and we were off the ship with our bags in the collection area within 10 minutes.
Cabin was perfect, we had a ...
Firstly the price of a cruise is a real bargain! You can't fault this.
Spotless ship and has a fantastic crew. I loved how clean the ship always was. I would also say the cabin was spotless and always cleaned with fresh towels. This was twice a day sometimes. I have to say the lift system is brilliant! It really works and never gets overcrowded and forced to stop on so many floors. Well ...
We always wanted to make a trip to Europe to visit all the beautiful countries we’ve only heard about. This was a lifetime trip for us and we heard such good things about Viking from friends and coworkers. We choose Viking because they were able to handle every aspect of the trip from point A to Z. Since we never traveled this far to countries outside of the US we felt safe in allowing Viking plan ...
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 ...
Viking is an exceptional cruise line in so many ways. The ship was immaculate - rooms are cleaned daily and the turn-down service is nice. the friendly staff get to know your names. The port talks were interesting and well-Dione, and the educational lectures enriched the journey. The excursion options are broad — there are many to choose from, and always one is included in the price of the cruise. ...
Absolutely loved this cruise! I’m a younger cruiser (39) and I had a blast. A friend and I had been wanting to tour Europe and this seemed like a good fit. I think it hit all of our expectations and even surpassed on a few. The service was outstanding. All of the staff helped to make for an unforgettable vacation. The food was superb. I loved the regional specialities. The cabin is small but very ...
