Greece Cruise Reviews

For starters Piraeus was not the port this ship docked on, it was Lavriom. An hour or so away from the Acropolis. I had to pay $150.00 for my husband and myself for a taxi to take us to the Acropolis. It just does not make any sense. The other 16 passengers in our 18 passenger group were not able to go. They just went around the port town which is not the purpose to visiting Athens. All of us very ...

Overall we were happy with this cruise. Our cabin was spacious and very clean. The food was inconsistent. Breakfasts and lunches were always very good, but the dinner options were either very good or disappointing. We chose the specialty dining at 60 euros a person for our last night and while it was delicious, it didn't blow us away. Wifi and cell service was extra and a hassle to set up and ...

My wife and I went on a 7 days cruise of Greek Islands in Celestyal Crystal , starting from Athens. It was a wonderful and enjoyable experience -we felt completely at home by the 5 star service provided by the entire ship crew. They made us feel like being part of one big family. Even though we are vegetarians there was enough spread of fruits and vegetables to ease our concerns. The F&B crew ...

Perfect sailing with Crystal. Excelent chance for 7 day cruise with top choice deatinations and great value for money. A dreamful vacation for everybody who want to travel, sail and relax. Great experience on and off board with plenty of joy, lovely atmosphere, great variety of drinks and meals, show program and different excursions. Many warm thanks to all staff, who are always helpful and ...

The balcony cabin was fine, the two servicing people were great. However, the pushy sales tactics experienced from almost every employee, especially during the first three days of the cruise, trying to sell us an additional drink package for 49.95 per day per person (in addition to what we had already included in our price) became a total nuisance. The wash clothes were a dirty yellow, clearly not ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary, full in the knowledge that Crystal was due for retirement in a few months, and despite it having little in the way of modern conveniences and razzmatazz. We were definitely not disappointed, and enjoyed a fabulous 2 weeks. The crew were, in the main, fantastic. Despite only having limited performers, we were presented with a different show every night in ...

AZAMARA QUEST Sept 2022 Club continent suite. There were approx 520 guests on board (max capacity 690) Greece dropped the need to have a negative covid test the day we boarded!. The first thing our butler said was "there were only a few Covid cases in the previous week". Then mid way the captain announced 4 cases in isolation, but the rumour was that there were up to 13 positive . ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and hoping the weather in September would still be hot. Due to high winds in the Aegean, the ship sailed to the Ionian Sea, which was fine. The weather was spectacular, the ports we visited were great, we had a lot of fun. The problem with the ship and the crew was evident after a few days - the ship is starting to show its age and the captain said on the ...

Pros- staff. Friendly, helpful. Cons- Food. Average at best. No real menu items relating to the area ( Greece/turkey) being explored. Chili con carne for special chef item for lunch in very warm Greece was a good example. None of the food was beyond average. All frozen so fish came out tough and tasteless etc Wines were primarily Italian and Spanish. Again simply introducing local wines as ...

Overview: We would like to thank Celestyal Cruises for giving us a 125% credit for our original March 2020 booking. They are a high integrity company. We are world-travelers but novice-cruisers so this review describes our experience but does not compare it to other cruises. In general, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend the ship and the itinerary to you. Those things that ...
