We didn't realise that we were going to a holiday camp. In fairness I have to say that the cleanliness, cabins, shows, restaurants and staff service and attitudes were excellent, however we have travelled many times with Thomson and Marella and as soon as they went all inclusive their product became Benidorm.
You are supposed to at least wear "tailored" shorts in the restaurant but they were ...
We chose this cruise to have a little sunshine in January. It was the first and will most definitely be the last time on this uncomfortable vibrating cruise ship.
My wife and I have travelled in many ships over the years and P&O up to now have been our favourite cruise company.
The Iona cruise ship is big, probably too big if I’m being honest as even the calmest sea it vibrates into a ...
3 days before we sailed, we were contacted by P&O who advised us that our cabin was no longer available and gave us an ultimatum of a downgrade to inside cabin with a 50% refund or cancel our holiday. We were left with no choice but to accept the downgrade. We booked this cruise in June 23. The ship itself is in a poor state and in desperate need of a refurb. The food was substandard. We we both ...
POSITIVES:
We booked a Fantastica package with one device Wifi and premium drinks package.
The balcony cabin on Port side deck 10 was lovely. Spotlessly clean, roomy, comfy bed and compact shower/bathroom. The TV had mostly non-English speaking channels but this did not bother us.
The quality of the food in the complimentary restaurants and buffets was very good. We ate breakfast in Il ...
Just back from 1Wk on World Europa from Barcelona, last min birthday present. As it was a January trip, fleeces and jackets were packed. We have done this Med cruise several times before on different ships, so we know the ports, know the script etc.
The ship is quite new, and as my other half can get affected by choppy seas, we decided to take an inside cabin, which faces the “promenade” view ...
MSC WORLD EUROPA - I have just come back from a 7 night cruise trip in the Med. Having been on the Seashore I must say that the World Europa ship got me a little bit disappointed. The layout is not as good.
Excellent:
Animation team.
Outdoor areas.
Good:
Cleanliness.
Most of the bar staff.
Food ( apart from the food poisoning from mussles).
Bad:
-Layout.
-Promenade ...
The ship looks beautiful and really modern, was very impressed on the 1st day; then things got worse:
When the sea was rough and very windy, the ceiling panels made such loud sounds that we couldn’t sleep. They listened to the videos for 3am, 5am with the loud noises; but still need to wait until it happens again and checked by the carpenter before we can change cabin. We were already near the ...
I’m onboard now and the service has declined dramatically! Lots of new staff with attitudes and 3 star service. Rooms are outdated and in desperate need of a renovation. Stains on carpets and drapes . Bathroom still has a musty curtain and room temperature can not be fixed as they were here twice .
The staff questions everything. Order room service for breakfast no cutlery I call they say “are ...
Review of Viking Sky 2023/24 World Cruise.
For 4 months per year my wife and I have been avid cruisers. Firstly 18 with Azamara, but since their sad decline we switched to Viking. Now with 8 completed, and enjoyed, it was sad to see how far Viking standards have fallen. We found this on our recent segmented 2 legs on this world cruise. This was after we were initially notified that we were ...
I give my thoughts as this is my 20th + cruise and have traveled with several lines. I chose this cruise as it should be 21 days of what I had hoped would be getting to know other guests and chat. I was not aware there are huge changes of guests at every port visited. Not ideal I think. Food is all quite bland In complementary restaurants. There are several pay to eat restaurants with high ...
