This was our first trans Atlantic cruise and our longest (30days Greece to Argentina)
I have Cpap machine and it requires distilled water. Prior to sailing I requested distilled water but that request was not fulfilled. Once on board, I made another request. The medical staff provide 1 liter of distilled water, which may last 5-7 days
Before crossing the Atlantic (6 nights at sea) I ...
We choose this cruise to change our ideas of a very sad event;
We love cruises and had already sailed on 3 cruises with Costa.
We wanted to start from Venice and to discover Dubrovnik and Kotor.
Too much remarks and findings to write them all :
- 1 port Zakynthos cancelled due to bad weather and replaced by Bari : no problem for us but the excursions of Bari were advanced without ...
Ship is nice, big with lots of spaces. Service is average. Onboard activities during extensive sea days is very poor. Communication on ports to self navigate and what is happening is non existant. In cabin TV has nothing to watch. Other than destinations we wanted to see was why we booked wouldn't travel again on this ship line. Unfortunately due to conflict we lost 3 ports in Egypt and no new ...
The ship was decorated well and largely clean and comfortable.
There was little reprieve from the noise of people (there were lots of groups talking loud languages), not as much space as other cruise liners we've been on, the entertainment was loud, there was music in almost every space we went in. We often retreated to our cabin for some peace, our teenager son often in there as the teen club ...
Just stepped off a 9 day Med cruise on MSC Splendida. This was my 11th cruise but my first with MSC and it will definitely be my last.
The positives; its not a bad looking ship, bars, resturaunts and theatre look attractive. Our balcony cabin, aft facing, was large and comfortable but that's about all I can say that's complimentary.
The negatives; the food was, for the most part, atrocious ...
My husband and I took the European cruise from Civitavechia Italy to Syracuse,Malta, Santorini,Mikonos then back to Civitavechia from 9/8/23 to 9/15/23 and want to tell you about our bad experience. However, there are personnel on the ship that stood out above the bad moments we had and made us feel better and welcomed. Thank you Gede assistant waiter, Wayan waiter, Luis assistant Bartender and ...
It was the only cruise boarding and disembarking from Piraeus at that date.
First the positives.
1. Room service was very good. The room was cleaned twice per day. The whole ship kept very clean.
2. Crew was very professional always eager to assist and always smiling. Except Reception desk officers!
3. The shows in the huge Theater were excellent. It was clear that all the artists put ...
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 ...
We chose this cruise for its destinations. We were a family of three, booked a Balcony with Fantasia benefits.
It was our 29th cruise overall.
From the time we booked our cruise in January and confirmed it in March, this was not a good sign, that things were not going as we pleased..
Check-in in Trieste, Italy was okay!
We checked in at 10.30 a.m. Left our check-in luggage and ...
The cruise ship is old and kinda dirty. The shore excursions were disorganized (the tenderboats were in late, you have to wait for the buses in 40°C no shade for sure). The staff at the pool bar didn't want to work, often just looked away, to avoid eyecontact, it was on their face that they HATE their job and hate the guests. The food selection is poor, especially at dinner (only vegetables? ...
