Rome (Civitavecchia) to the Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise as a family vacation for a group of seven family members ages 17-73. It was the first trip to Europe for 5 of the seven cruisers. This was the 25th cruise for my husband and I. We booked 3 mini-suites on Deck 13. The cabins were excellent, however, the balconies were tiny. Great living quarters and large and spacious bathroom. The ship was beautiful and well-maintained. Our ...

My mother dreamed of visiting the Greek Islands because of its beauty. When my dad was looking for our Summer 2023 Europe vacation, we stumbled upon a cruise with a great itinerary on the newest ship in the Celebrity fleet, the Celebrity Beyond. It was an 11-night Italy, Greek Islands, & Turkey cruise that departed from Civitavecchia, Italy, calling in Catania (Eastern Sicily), Santorini, ...

Absolutely seamless and quick embarkation process.Very professional and helpful staff. Excellent Stateroom.Very well maintained. Quick room service. Very attentive stateroom steward William who promptly looked after all our requests and always kept the stateroom neat and tidy. Beautiful ship,many restaurants and bars so a wide choice. Entertainment was not like it used to be pre Covid. ...

We cruised on the Epic from 30/05/23 to 08/06/23 from 'Rome' to 'Rome', stopping in Naples, Palma (Mallorca), Ibiza, Barcelona, Cannes and Livorno. We had previously cruised on the Epic transatlantic from Lisbon to NYC in December, and I had not planned to review this cruise. However, this cruise ended up differing quite a lot because of the changes brought forward by Norwegian in-between cruises ...

We’ve always loved Celebrity and last year booked a back to back for this year but won’t rush to come on Celebrity again certainly NOT Beyond. It’s definitely now a 2 class ship. Retreat passengers have a totally different experience. If you’re on Classic drinks package you have to pay EXTRA for WATER! One of our group drinks no alcohol and couldn’t get still or sparkling water unless she paid ...

Chose this cruise with a group of friends for the itinerary, size and amenities of ship, and price. Embarked at Civatavecchia, which was very quick and easy. This ship allows passengers to embark at multiple ports, so there are not hoards of people to move. Each day, there were people starting and ending their voyages, and others visiting ports for the day, using separate entrances. Worked very ...

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, ...

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 ...

Venice-to-Athens cruise, with stops in between, very enjoyable, Made a lot of sense to tack on a few days in Venice and Athens, at beginning and end. (Note to self: take lots of shorts and polo shirts, long pants not so much, given summer high humidity. Skip jackets as small umbrella suffices. Also, seriously consider Premium Economy, at a minimum, for daylight flight back. Since we ...

Chose Enchanted for its itinerary (Italy, Greece, and Turkey). As a platinum, I have some experience with Princess. As for the positives, embarkation was seamless. We already had our Medallion devices. (However, never fun trying to upload our photos). Staff was very professional and helpful. Room steward was efficient. Wait staff was superb, especially in Sabatoni. The entertainment in the ...
