-(EVERYTIME)
-Room services orders takes over an hour+
- Food is horrible barley cooked poor selection of food choices. Food taste like rubber. This should be more focus than anything especially when you go to a cruise over 7 days long!
-Lack of customer services
-Lack of waiters attention in restaurant you pay money. For example Brazilian steak restaurant our waiter so us only once. ...
Our favorite cruise line, Crystal, went bankrupt. We chose Silversea for the great itinerary, including the Monaco Grand Prix. If we had never taken a Crystal cruise, I would think this was the best ever. Attentive staff, lovely food, included excursions and airfare (upgrades for reasonable prices.) The veranda cabin was delightful.
And yet... we missed the high-quality Crystal entertainment, ...
This cruise had the worse quarters for comfort as the beds were rock hard and the sofa was also so hard you couldn’t sit on it for any length of time. The food was plentiful at the buffet but it was of poor quality. The main dining hall meals were also sub par as the steaks were tough and the other meals were just fair. If you want to eat a lot of food all day and do not care about its quality, ...
We are experienced cruisers just returning from number 25 and the last ten were on Princess, so I will be making a few comparisons in my review.
The ship is beautiful at two years old with no wear and tear to be found. The decor is much more vibrant than Princess with very colorful fixtures on the pool deck such as yellow palm trees and cabanas. There is a kiddie pool right in the same area ...
We have traveled with Norwegian Cruise Line in the past and truly enjoyed it all. My NCL reservations representative is wonderful too. We chose this ship’s itinerary since our first option to travel with NCL Epic out of Barcelona was cancelled to do ship updates. Needless to say, they should update Breakaway too. Commodes did not flush properly, no automated door openings so touchy touchy, no ...
I choose this cruise through Costco travel. There were some perks for booking with Costco and i was interested in the itinerary going to Greek isles and the western side of Italy.
Good things.
We upgraded to a balcony and it was clean and comfortable.
We went to multiple ports and they were great for seeing things, like Pompeii, Pisa, Florence etc...
Bad Things.
Customer Service ...
Although I have experience with cruising, my review is based purely on observation and not on comparison. We have state balcony room on the concierge level. First and the most striking is a wrongful advertisement as the best cuisine traveling experience/ elegant country style atmosphere . Neither one is correct.
There are numerous flows which popped up as soon as you become more ...
I loved the layout and decor of the ship. Food was good. Service was superb. The spa is decent but not as good as NCL. The 12 day sailing from Rome - Greece-Turkey was mainly a Geriatric crowd from USA . I prefer that over being Run over rug rats. The daily tip for my Aqua is $20. The last day tip envelope recommended about $17 additional per day for restaurant and steward. Plus the mandatory ...
7 day Mediterranean cruise from Rome I measured mostly Italians, smattering of EU and few Americans and Asians.
Lots of screaming kids and perfect teen bods in the elevator. So if you’re an overweight American you will feel out of place here. Solace seekers this ain’t your ship too.
Huge ship packed full of people who drives like they walk to get food. My tea was knocked out of my hands ...
I recently cruised on the EPIC, May 11 thru May 20 with spouse and 2 friends. A couple weeks before we sailed out of Rome, the cruise line cancelled one of its ports (Sorrento) one of the specific reasons for choosing the ship was for the itinerary. The cabins with balcony were strangely configured, meaning, the layout was horrible, tiny thin counter space, a bathroom on right side upon entrance ...
