Europe Cruise Reviews

My wife and I decided to finally take that European dream vacation we always wanted, and NCL had several cruises that were appealing. We decided to try the new-ish ship, the NCL Prima, knowing we'd have a great time... and it was that. We've got a lot of great memories now of a wonderful cruise. However, that doesn't mean that NCL doesn't have some work to do to improve on the Prima (previously ...

We are Princess regulars. We wanted to sail the Mediterranean, and this time period worked for us. The food, service and entertainment were exceptional. No problems. Mini suite. Deck 11 of 16. Mid ship. Movie under the stars. Stage shows of Las Vegas quality. This ship is newer than other Princess ships we have sailed. Furniture, decor, floors, and walls were fresh, showing little wear and tear. ...

Before I begin my review of this cruise, I want to say that we are Sapphire with NCL. That means that we have spent more than a few days cruising with NCL and have seen many changes over the past few years. We cruised 46-days with NCL in 2023 alone. Where to begin? We booked 2 cruises with NCL for November. The Gem from Istanbul to Athens then a Transatlantic on the Breakaway out of Rome ...

We chose this cruise because a Transatlantic cruise has been on our bucket list, we liked the itinerary, and we had two previous enjoyable cruises on HAL (one on Oosterdam and one on Zaandam). We have been fortunate that all three HAL cruises have been in a Neptune Suite, which is a special experience. This cruise didn't go as planned, because a large storm caused an itinerary change. We had ...

We will sail with NCL again. This was our 7th cruise (all with NCL) and we have number 8 booked. We had number eight booked on another Prima cruise before this cruise and I have canceled it and rebooked on a Breakaway plus class ship. I can't see us doing another cruise on a Prima class ship. The last five cruises we have gotten the two bedroom and have always enjoyed it. True the second ...

I can only say if I could I would vote a minus. The food is appalling if you want to lose weight then book with msc even top staff asked us to write a bad review about the food the staff can’t wait to Get ashore for something to eat. No kettle in the room. Dress sense is out of the window. I met a man who had done 31 cruises and this was worst. The only saving grace was the amazing staff they are ...

Booked this cruise just a few days before the sailing as a spontaneous way of returning to the states rather than flying. We’d sailed with MSC many times but not since 2016. I don’t know where you could find such horrible poor quality food. I spotted the executive chef onboard and asked why he allows such embarrassingly bad food and his response was a little shocking. He said,”when we get to ...

We enjoy spending time in Europe in the fall and then sailing home on a trans-Atlantic with our preferred lines - Holland America and Cunard. We appreciated the itinerary as it was full of ports we enjoyed . We also greatly enjoy the ambience on HAL ships. We boarded without issue at Barcelona , concluding ten wonderful days in Spain. The ship was spotless and remained so through our 15 days ...

The experience on this ship was amazing. Everything was geared towards the guest having a good time Entertainment was amazing since it was a transatlantic cruise we didn’t have many port stops but this was well known prior to booking and not a problem. The 2 stops I did get off were very organized and easy to do even without booking excursions The entertainment was very well planned and ...

Just finished up a 11 day Med cruise on the Prima. We stayed in the Haven and the experience was truly exceptional. The staff was the best and the ship nearly flawless. Our butler Jefferson took care of every need. I just can't say enough good things about him. The cabin was very very comfortable and roomy. The food and drink in the Haven restaurant and bar did not disappoint. I do wish ...
