Rome (Civitavecchia) to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

This trip was a last minute plan in September, 2023. The draw was a discount fare with free airfare to the Holy Land. My siblings and I decided to sign up The Holy Land visit was cancelled due to the conflict, October, 2023. We agreed to continue with the trip. I received a single rate Was my first Viking Ocean cruise, but a veteran of other cruise lines as well as a Viking River Cruise. I was ...

This cruise visited Greece,Spain ,Portugal ,Italy and 7 perfect days crossing the Atlantic. Based on reviews here we were both lowering our expectations. It was a GREAT experience! The island P is in fine shape. We love the old school classic look and feel....Yea, like me, showing her age a little but spotlessly maintained (unlike me!) The covered pool area is great and comfortable to ...

We chose Viking’s 15 day Mediterranean Antiquities cruise because we had been on the Viking 18 day cruise, South America and the Chilean Fjords, and loved everything about it. In particular we enjoyed the lectures and other enrichment activities as well as the fellow travelers who seemed to have similar interests. The library was phenomenal. Since all Viking Ocean ships are almost identical, we ...

My wife, a friend, and I just completed the 12 day Mediterranean Cruise on the Norwegian Epic which left out of Rome on November 8. My wife and I have been on NCL a couple of times in the past and had a great experience - wish I could say the same for this trip. The Epic can hold over 4500 passengers; but, there are only 2900 on board (just over 1/2 capacity). Below is a list of issues ...

I chose this cruise for good value and newer and bigger ship. The ship is truly beautiful. 1. Dining room food was good, service was excellent, ambience was wonderful. 2. Buffet was chaotic. Food was displayed in 2 narrow aisles on each side of the ship. It was hard to find a seat. 3. Food was average, it lacked variety. Roasts of beef, lamb, chicken and pork were good. Soups were always ...

This cruise was over a year in preparation. Many of us were first time cruisers. We were a family of 12 looking forward to a Mediterranean Cruise and spent thousands of dollars in both excursions and for the cruise itself. We never made it to our first port Athens due to high winds and were stuck at sea, this in combination to already 2 days of scheduled sea days. We lost all our money on our ...

We had originally booked a cruise through the Greek Islands and Turkey to Rome on the NCL Epic but it was canceled and this was the next best itinerary for the dates we had available for our vacation. The first problem arose when our luggage took until nearly 9:30pm to be delivered to our stateroom. And upon getting into our balcony cabin We had a a letter informing us that the ten day thermal spa ...

We chose this cruise largely due to the great itinerary (Italy, Greece and Malta) and the price (November is low season and prices were good, but more on that later). We embarked on November 2 and disembarked November 12. The ship is very, very large, and was much more crowded than we expected, given that fewer ships sail the Mediterranean in November than, say, summertime. We did a combination of ...

We are Princess regulars. We wanted to sail the Mediterranean, and this time period worked for us. The food, service and entertainment were exceptional. No problems. Mini suite. Deck 11 of 16. Mid ship. Movie under the stars. Stage shows of Las Vegas quality. This ship is newer than other Princess ships we have sailed. Furniture, decor, floors, and walls were fresh, showing little wear and tear. ...

The ship is nice. I had a solo cabin which was very good/comfortable for 1 person. The service on the ship was good, The ship is very clean. The unlimited internet package was fast. I could not eat the food in the main restaurants. The quality was not acceptable. Breakfast however was ok. But its ridiculous that you have to pay for a cappuccino for Breakfast. The drinks ...
