Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We organised this cruise as a relaxing week in the sun for me and my wife, visiting a couple of new ports (for us) and a few old favourites. The pre-planning by Scotland's Cruise Centre was top notch. We flew from Edinburgh to Barcelona and jumped in a taxi to the port (39 Euros) without a hitch. The process of welcoming us on board was flawless and our luggage arrived at our stateroom within half ...

My wife and I were looking for a cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had been on a recent cruise on the same ship. Royal had done a pretty good job of trying to keep cruisers safe from the Pandemic on that one. This time it was totally different. No pandemic protocols whatsoever. Children under 11 free and no vaccination required. So we spent 8 days in a full ship, cramped quarters, ...

This was cancelled twice due to covid so we were excited to finally go. Second cruise on Epic, so we knew what to expect. Embarkation smooth and trouble free, food was wonderful, staff attentive and brilliant. Masks were not enforced, only when docked at Italian ports, which we fully expected. But Ship is starting to show its age a bit. Discoloured tiling and stains on pool, worn benches ...

Where to start... From Day 1, we arrived after flying across the Atlantic only to discover that "One of our engines is broken, so we have canceled the stop in France. Not to worry, we are still seaworthy..." Options for remedy were: 1. Take a credit of $100 person / 2. Rebook at a later date. / 3. Get a full refund. (MAN DO WE WISH WE HAD PICKED THAT OPTION!!!!) We later discovered that ...

I am very patient. I am always giving the benefit of the doubt. I have never written a scathing review before. But I am out of patience, there is no doubt that any benefit should be granted to MSC, and I am now writing my first ever scathing review (after 63 years.) 

 Things got so bad, I had to finally keep a list. I didn’t even put many of the tiny things on the list. And yes, some of the ...

Where shall I start.... so much to say, this cruise is are first inaugural cruise to mark our 25th Wedding Anniversary, so a lot riding on Royal Caribbean to deliver, and did they deliver, WOW. Never been on a cruise ever heard a lot from our parents, friends, who have travelled the world on cruise liners, and always told us you must do one. Having booked the Western Mediterranean on The ...

This was a fantastic cruise! The ship wasn't full, so no crowds anywhere. We were greeted like royalty by the grateful and incredibly friendly staff. We never sprang for specialty dining, as the regular food was superb. The nightly entertainment was all wonderful. I loved the itinerary. Portofino was beautiful, Corsica had Napoleon history and Cannes had film history, Barcelona Wow!! La Sagrada ...

This was our 2nd celebrity cruise after being on the Edge pre Covid. It didn't dissapoint. The staff were amazing, the ship is perfectly put together & the food, activities were excellent. At approx 1/3rd capacity - we were a bit spoilt with the ship being not busy. However, when we were on the Edge, that was very full & it never felt too crazy. The beauty of Celebrity is that they want a ...

Sailed on 9 night cruise out of Barcelona to Rome on June 4th. This was our fourth Celebrity Cruise and about 10th overall. There is just something different and special about Celebrity. And the Beyond takes it up another notch. Stayed in a Sky Suite which gives access to the Retreat. If you can swing the Retreat, it is worth every penny. Embarkation was easy and we were walked on board to ...
