Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

This is our second cruise with Celestyal, and will not be our last. The staff from the Celestyal Crystal had transferred to the Celestyal Journey, and we were delighted to be remembered by many of them, which increased our cruise enjoyment. Originally a three week cruise to start with the Three Continents, which was changed to a new itinerary, due to the conflict in Gaza. For the first week, ...

So to clarify this is my second cruise to begin, the service was poor and distasteful. the staff seemed disinterested rather serving they seem only to speak to each other and hide in corners. I get that, but with MSC servers are always there. They even straight up ignore you. there were some a few like three staff who were utterly amazing and a credit to the industry. entertainment: evening ...

We were on the ship for 2 weeks and it flew by. The ship itself, all the options for dining, entertainment, luxurious accommodations, cruise amenities, included and extra excursions, outstanding crew & excellent service were amazing. We were blown away by all Viking had to offer. This was our first cruise and it was so fabulous, we booked another river cruise for 2026. We are now spoiled and ...

Party: 2 adults aged 30 and 64, previously cruised three times with Marella (Dream, and Explorer 2 x2), with NCL 4 times (Jade, Breakaway x2 and Prima), and 3 other cruises in the early 00s on now defunct lines. We don't have any disabilities, we didn't use the casino and we didn't travel with kids, so we can't comment on these. If you have read my reviews before you'll know that we cruised ...

Excellent cruise from Rio to Lisbon. Very friendly staff. Atmosphere is upscale-casual: Few men wore sport jackets at any time. Ship was about 3/4 full, with almost all passengers being in their fifties and up. There were no children. Large mix of nationalities (US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc.). It got a bit rocky towards the end of the cruise and the captain chose to skip the Madeira port of ...

Pros.. the balcony room was of a good size and didn't disappoint. The excursions were well organised but only in English. free shuttles from some of the ports to town centre were offered. The entertainment was good enough. Cons... the ship deals only in English. Excursions only offered in English even though departing from Athens. Everything is geared towards American traveller; the air ...

Have cruised many times, usually on P and O, this time we flew to Tenerife, cruised around Canaries, Madeira, mainland Spain, Sardinia, and Greece. We really enjoyed the ports, flights were good too. The staff on board Azura were lovely, very hard working and always willing to please. Our cabin was a balcony and light and airy, but showing its age. However, we found all the cutbacks took ...

Another superb cruise on the Azamara Quest, we were in a club continent suite this time as the bathroom in a veranda room is very small , our suite was very nice lots of storage and we were able to put the suitcases under the bed. The company has changed hands since our last voyage and it is noticeable in the cuts they are making considering the guests on board we’re 54% return cruisers they ...

We traveled via Viking Air Business Class going and Premium Economy upon return, arranging our hotel in Istanbul for three days before embarkation and doing the post-cruise extension in Athens upon disembarkation. We traveled as three seniors. Travel to and from the cruise was arranged through Viking Air months before the cruise with recurrent notices of dates times, airline booking codes, and ...

I thought given reviews that Viking would give us a superior experience, not a superior attitude. I erred. Problems began, and ended, with Viking Air. We spent over $12,000 on air alone to get .... not a ticket. Viking and Viking Air were unable to fix the problem despite our time on the phone with both AND assurances that they had. So, our trip started with the customer service agent ...
