Having done more than 20 cruises with Princess, I understood what their “loyalty program” meant and why we aspired to be Elite members. Today is so different, the speeches remain the same but nothing else. Gone are the precious internet minutes; discounts in the shops are only on full priced items; no special toiletries in the bathrooms; and reduced access to the Captain Circle rep on board. ...
We had sailed on 2 previous Oceania cruises and believed we found a new favorite cruise line. Having been on 7 different lines over the years and multiple cruises, we decided to book our 3rd Oceania on the Nautica which we were on last year traveling Turkey and Greece.
We traveled the Holy Land itinerary from Dubai to Barcelona on the same ship and same room. We had booked this tour on board ...
The itinerary looked wonderful and the end in India intrigued us. What we found less pleasurable were the included daily trips ashore.
Many were not stimulating even though our guides tried hard. We are more adventurous and would have liked on shore options that were more individual, allowing us to explore the people and the cities.
We knew there were options but to spend a long time on a ...
My husband wanted to cruise the Suez Canal & this part of the cruise was fantastic for both of us. The narration done by the historian made it perfect. Every talk from the historians was excellent. The ship was great...service, staff, food, cleanliness, port talks, & Viking Daily with clear information about each port regarding what each country required for us to enter & leave. Negative some of ...
Our first time on Seabourn but not our last. Loved the ship, the outside eating spaces, the delicious food, the staff, the crew …. We are now spoiled for any other line. Relax or be busy, dress up or don’t. This is the cruise line for us. Worth every penny. We met lovely people of all nationalities. We enjoyed the food and the entertainment. Shout out to the cruise director Aimee, the wonderful ...
I cannot say anything good about this ship or MSC and will second everything the previous reviewer had to say about this cruise I can only add it was like Butlins at sea We have another MSC booked which we are seriously considering cancelling I cannot express how bad it was .The facilities on board cannot deliver to 6000 passengers. This ship does not compare with other ships of its size and yes ...
This is a new cruise ship that has far to many people for the community space. There is no lounges or quite places to sit and relax.
The entertainment was sparse, you had to book in to the shows, which you could only see once, if it was sold out then you couldn't go.
I have travelled with many cruise company's and this has to be the worst be far
The food was plain, but they were always ...
We have cruised a lot on several ships and Lines across the world including MSC. No ship or cruise line is perfect. All have their pro's and cons. However, after our 14 day Suez canal cruise, we would probably say this is our current favorite ship.
Our balcony room on deck 16 was a good size with a comfy bed and massive couch. This ship is new and it feels it. Very clean, no rust, staff always ...
We chooe this cruise as our friends we going on it and it ticked a few of our bucket list locations, MSC Europa is HUGE, no walking deck, to get to some of the shows you have to walk through the Casino and it always smelt of cigarette smoke and really not very nice at all. Food was very average, Staff in all area's were great, We booked an excursion prior to leaving Australia and on the day of the ...
The cruise seemed like we would enjoy experience.
We were not informed that a covid pcr test was needed till arriving at port of demarcation .
After setting sail we were informed that we needed a visa to visit Jedah which we found impossible to obtain so lost one port of call.
We were looking forward to navigate through the Suez canal but we could not access front of ships as this part of ...
