We returned yesterday from this cruise on which we experienced both positive and negative issues.
Positives - amazing crew, always smiling and helpful, and working so hard. Given demands and capacity, service and the food was great - varied and fresh in Garden Café, main dining rooms and especially good in Le Bistro. Cabin was kept very clean and shower room bigger than on some competing ...
I am wrapping up a 14 night sailing from Athens to Athens onboard the Seabourn Encore. I have always been a fan of Seabourn and feel comfortable on board. Cruising on Seabourn as a return guest is truly like "coming home". The best asset that Seabourn has is their staff. This sailing was no exception. Under the direction of Hotel Director Kevin Huxham guests enjoy a level of service ...
I recently embarked on a Mediterranean cruise with MSc Musica, and overall, it was a memorable experience. The cleanliness of the rooms, particularly on Deck 8, truly stood out; they were impeccably maintained throughout the journey, ensuring a comfortable stay.
The real stars of the cruise, however, were the staff. The waiters, including Walber, Josue in the L’Oleandro restaurant and Santosh ...
Serious plumbing problems:
As soon as my family and I arrived at our cabin (IR1-Deluxe Interior), the flashing of the toilet did not work, neither did the shower drain! I quickly informed the reception about this serious issue. It took them more than 24 hours and countless visits at the reception to fix the toilet and the shower! I made countless attempts to change my cabin but they declined, ...
MAIN RESTAURANT :
THE FOOD WAS WELL BELOW AVERAGE,TWICE THE BEEF WE ORDERED WAS HARD AND CHEWY,
They had for main courses every day pasta (with no meats) and rissoto. The indian butter chicken it was a shame for the indian cooking!!
In general, the food was tasteless,no imagination.
it is true that we were spoiled by all other cruise companies (royal ...
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. This was my first NCL cruise (I usually prefer Princess.). I traveled solo and appreciated NCL efforts to gather solo travelers. Many of us did end up eating meals or attending entertainment together. I picked this cruise because of the 11 day trip with Ports of call including Greek Islands, Israel, Istanbul & Ephesus Turkey. I booked through Vacations to Go ...
This cruise is a very nice way to visit several nice and different places in a single trip. You can experience the greek islands, the ruins of efeso, jerusalém, cyprus. All wonderful and diverse experiences. You can visit the cradle of occidental civilization in a few days. We made the cruise with our two teenage sons and was a balance between education and amusement. They enjoy the night disco ...
We chose this cruise due to the itinerary featuring ports in Israel, Turkey and Greece. We had sailed on the Norwegian Jade before and had enjoyed our previous experience.
Airport Transfer
We paid for the transit from the airport, due to the fact that we did not have a lot of time between the arrival of our flight and the sailing. The coach bus experience was fine, although the check in ...
We went to a 7 day cruise on MSC Musica starting from Piraeus in August 2023. While MSC Musica is neither the newest nor biggest cruise ship MSC Cruises has, we (mom and I) enjoyed the cruise.
The itinerary is one of the best there is with Haifa, Santorini and Mykonos being the best destinations. Others were nice, too; I'd say that if you want an extra sea day, skip Kusadasi unless you really ...
We chose this cruise as we’d cruised with MSc 9 times before and been on this boat before. We also chose it because of the stops.
The boat is very tatty and needs a re fit. Our balcony was unavailable 2 days of the cruise due to maintenance. Cleanliness on board is non existent. People walk into buffet restaurants in bathers bare foot and in damp towels and aren’t challenged. Pointless having ...
