Rome (Civitavecchia) to Europe Cruise Reviews

Having read previous reviews we were nervous and had lowered expectations as we planned this trip. This was our second post pandemic cruise and are very happy with how life continues to evolve to ‘normal’ at sea, all in all it was a wonderful vacation. As loyal Diamond+ we are pretty experienced with the fleets, but also with the competition! The ship presents beautifully: Sparkling new, ...

After our previous cruise last year on Silhouette which we really enjoyed, we were really looking forward to the Edge class and also Retreat onboard !!! We had also just completed a back to back on Harmony in Suite Class, so our expectations were high. How dissapointed we were on this cruise, Staff shortages were obvious with queues at most bars, very little table service, no service at all in ...

Best cruise trip ever. We've done 5! Ship is beautiful and plush, customer service excellent with smiling happy staff, food amazing with so much choice, classic package has a few cocktails and beer and wine is a decent standard, rooms are good size and furnished really well (with quite a large bathroom), entertainement is brilliant. The hardest thing is to try and criticise this ship. Loved ...

Looking for a Mediterranean cruise and heard Edge class is spectacular. The ship is impressive in size and being new is exceptionally clean. The Luminae restaurant is quite nice, with a limited menu and few changes during the week. The Cafeteria as an option for wider selection is quite ordinary, and I have had better meals in diners. The service people in the cafeteria, are trying to keep ...

This was our sixth Celebrity cruise and the first time on Beyond. The ship is amazing. From the moment you get on you will be impressed by how big and beautiful it is. There are so many areas to get lost in and find a private space. The ship was spotless and the staff were very engaged and helpful. Being a newer ship cost per night was probably 10% higher than going on one of the older ...

Overall the staff was great and always willing to help and super friendly. The ship was clean and the food was pretty food However, the first time on a cruise we did not know what to expect. Unless you are at the buffet/free restaurant at specified times. Be prepared to pay for everything. Including water by the bottle. I would say to enjoy your time on the ship without having to worry. ...

We boarded the ship in Civitavecchia after staying one night in Rome. I highly suggest arriving a day or more before a cruise. Much more relaxing and not stressful. We had to test (COVID) two days before the cruise via the webmd app. The embarkation process on Aug 30 was unbelievably fast. We had a 1pm arrival appt to board, but we were early, arriving at 11:20. We provided our negative test ...

Food? ...at best it was mediocre and at worst it was cold and poor quality! After being on half a dozen RCI ships, this was the biggest disappointment! (To make matters worse RCI pressure their dining room staff to get patrons to give high marks for the food or it affects their standing! The water has NOTHING to do with the quality of food... Shame on RCI!) ...RCI have introduced a new ...

As frequent cruisers, We chose this cruise because it visited some ports we’d never been to. We loved Dubrovnik, Corfu, Katakolon and Messina. Kotor was a lousy day with a long tender ride and a long wait to return to the ship. We found the quality of the food and food service excellent. Wonderful Indian food on the lunch buffet every day, great selection of starters and mains every night. ...

This is the second time we cruised Celebrity Reflection, since it was new (October 2012) when we spent two weeks on this cruise on Mediterranean. Our 11- day cruise this time was better since there was not a repeat of meals and shows during the 11 days. The ship has aged well but it was in good shape. The toilet bowl showed black sign in some rooms. This was our third cruise with Celebrity (2 ...
