Rome (Civitavecchia) to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

The room looked nice but opened the curtains to the balcony and turned around to see hair from previous guests everywhere and something had been spilled all down the front of the table and fridge. Nothing seemed to be sanitized ( same dirty rag to wipe down tables without a spray of disinfectant on all outside deck areas and the Eatery tables). In the Eatery breakfast and lunch served the same ...

We picked this cruise originally as it was to be the 3rd cruise on Sun Princess as it turned out it was the inaugural cruise which was more expensive at the time of booking but we felt by the 3rd cruise all would be working what a mistake!!! Princess should have let us know before we travelled that the theatre and park 19 would be unavailable to us instead just giving 60$ each when we on board ...

Imagine this scenario: Princess Cruiseline sends out an email to booked passengers for the 2/28 Inaugural (by default after 2/8 and 2/18 were canceled) cruise. The email discloses that, despite their best efforts, the ship just isn't quite ready yet. Never the less, they have decided to sail as planned vs canceling outright. This fantasy email gave passengers the option of rescheduling to a ...

I was advised that being on the inaugural cruise is like being the guinea pig. Therefore, I purposely chose the third sailing of the new Sun Princess cruise. However, due to the cancellation of the first two sailings, we ended up on the inaugural cruise. I was excited, thinking that everything on the cruise would be brand new, and I hoped the advice I got wasn't true. As it turns out, my friend ...

This was our 4th Norweigan ship and cruise. Out of 20 cruises sailed this was the worst ship we have ever been on. The venues for the shows were small, the layout of the ship was noisy, and the food was cold or overdone, more often than not. The entertainment was repeated and not that great of quality. A large casino , but prices of buyins were high so tables sat empty a lot. Speciality ...

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 ...

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 ...

Read reviews and think thrice before booking an Oceania cruise. We booked the Goddesses to Gondolas cruise because of the pleasurable experience we previously had on (pre-Covid) Oceania, and we wanted to try out the newly-refurbished Riviera. We booked this cruise more than a year before the sailing because we were told by our travel agent that these cruises sell out fast. If we had the ...

So here I am in my $17,000 stateroom. First thing is the system won’t allow me to access my premium WiFi. It’s included but obviously not properly programmed in the system. Have to start my vacation waiting in line for a retreat host to fix it. Why not just fix the programming? Then I come across filth on at least two surfaces in the room, both looking suspiciously like dried blood. The container ...

The menu was terrible. Repeat dishes on multiple nights. Service was terrible. Had to ask cabin steward to clean mirrors not cleaned between cruises. Found bed last night with comforter pulled up and straightened but bed had not actually been made up. Had a tremendously rude head server in the dining room. Quote when she first came to the table we asked how are you she said "extremely busy" ...
