Rome (Civitavecchia) to the Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

This cruise was our 9th cruise & the 2nd MSC cruise having previously cruised on the MSC Musica. The ship itself was magnificent & very modern & clean but that's where the good news finished. Overall the cruise was not up the level of previous cruises: Firstly the food selection was ordinary. It seems the staple selection was soup, pasta, burgers & hot dogs. The daily selection of other food ...

My daughter and I did the 10 day cruise to Italy and Greece. It was GREAT UNTIL... a kid poop in the ADULT pool. I get it things happen. And I am pretty cool with those things that do happen. However what NCL failed to do was follow, implement and apply their own rules, regulations and policies. "ADULT POOL ONLY" "NO SMOKING" signs were posted where they were in plane sight. We booked our ...

We wanted to visit Italy and Greece. The breakaway was a little disappointing. We have cruised on ncl many times. Maintenance seems to be lacking. The curtain on the balcony door was ripped and not attached to the rod, the balcony door itself did not operate as it should. It was very difficult to open and close. The brown/tan rug was worn, the drawer under the couch could not close completely, ...

Good points - staff always a smile, chat, helpful, jean our cabin person very good. Bar staff at shakers amazing, speedy remembered what you were drinking funny always a smile. Lots of bars and restaurants choices. Bad points - Sheehan's huge bar often only 2 staff serving you can wait ages to get served. Very noisy. Maintenance work on balcony lots of dust, flakes of paint all over ...

We cruised on this ship last year and decided at relatively short notice to book again this year 2023. We didn't particularly like the infinity balcony so asked our agent to find us something else. There was little choice so we booked a window room at the front which happened to be suitable for wheelchair use, so was much larger than most rooms with a large forward facing window. This was a big ...

Cruise was recommended by a friend. I usually sail with Royal Caribbean lines. I thought I would try a different one. You really notice the cut backs on this ship. Food wasn’t great service was slow and tables weren’t clean sometimes took other people’s dishes away so we could have their table. Cut back on shows same 3 guys playing piano and singing for the 11 days not much entertainment. ...

For a 11 day cruise there was only non NCL production and one NCL crew show. The rest of the nights were fill ins that were not all that great. It was some thing to do but not the quality that you would expect from NCL on a 11 day cruise. The breakfast in the buffet was ok it was food but it had no variety. It took a couple of days for them to get the scrambled eggs scrambled instead being ...

As we did not plan ahead of time a trip to Europe for this year, going on a cruise seemed like a good option and fit the dates for our vacation. This was our first cruise with Oceania We were dissatisfied with these excursions: 1) Sorrento/ Capri Too hectic to get to / back from Capri. The tour guide was good. Restaurant for lunch should be included to avoid going around to ...

Went to Italy, Greece and France August 23, 2023. This cruise is geared towards families with small children and teens. Good for them. However, if you don’t want to see teens hanging around or kids in strollers in bars or the casino, do not book this ship. There was not enough adult shows or activities to keep us entertained at night. They were also understaffed in the restaurants because ...

We sailed on the Windsurf Pride in 2018. A delightful trip with fond momories of ports of call and the people and staff we met on the Pride. Fast forward to 2023 Wind Surf sailing expecting a wonderful sailing experience with friends we invited to come along and join in the smaller ship luxury experience that Windstar had offered in the past. Pro's of this trip: Stateroom is comfortable and ...
