After more than 50 cruises (even because I am a retired ship auditor), this was my first crossing, which we decided to take because my son-in-law is one of the ship's officers and my daughter and grandson were together on this trip.
We boarded the ship at Rome-Civitavecchia and disembarked at Miami 13 days later.
I've been on board this ship many times for shipboard audits and I know well ...
We wanted to experience a few days in Rome before boarding the ship for our trip back to Miami. Ezplorer is one of our favorite ships. Perfect size and great service. Our favorite cruise director, Hello Clo and our favorite head waiter, Gianni were there to greet us when we boarded. We took early dining and had the best waiter and assistant waiter. Artha and Ayu--married from Bali. The lecture ...
My wife chose this cruise mainly due to our starting and stopping in Rome {Civitavecchia}, so we spent a few days in Rome after the 10-day adventure. Starting off with a late embarkation due to serious plumbing issues on deck 8, we had a nice first day at sea but arrived late to our first port, Santorini. Taking the cable car was the best way to make the most of an excursion that only lasted a few ...
Ok, first the good. The food is pretty reasonable. We eat at speciality restaurants , the buffet and the three included restaurants. Manhattan room restaurant was a bitt too big and noisy for us but the others were very nice. The restaurant staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food good. The speciality restaurants were great and $25 extra for Lobster seemed fair. There were garlic ...
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" ...
The reviews had me very nervous about MSC Divina, but the naysayers were wrong. We had a very good experience on this ship and found the staff, food, and overall experience to be way above what others have said.
First, the most common complaints are about things beyond MSC’s control. The cruise line can’t control the rudeness of guests, nor can they control the way the Greek government runs ...
We love to cruise with Norwegian! They always do a great job with service and cruise pricing. We always do the Free at Sea with Unlimited Open Bar Package. Its the only way to travel! The only thing that was missing on the Breakaway was an observation lounge where you can hangout. The Bliss has a great observation lounge!! The overall dining experience for the most part is good and the special ...
Cruised the mediterranean to italy and greece. Let start with the ship. Not the top of the line when it comes to luxury. Staterooms are smaller than any other line we’ve been on. On to the food. breakfast never charged. Some may see that as a good thing but would have enjoyed a morning with pancakes eggs over easy and sausage patties. In their defense you could get eggs over easy at the omelette ...
I have been on the Empress, Freedom, Enchantment with upcoming cruises on Celebrity Ascent and Radiance. Enchantment has been my least favorite. I will say that the service was good. Drinks were good as well as the ports. This cruise was more about the itinerary than the ship. I would never recommend this ship to just be on the ship.
Issues
Cabins. Very dated. We were in a Junior Suite. ...
Very good 7 days would love to do it again. First class . Looking forward to my next cruise. The service in the restaurant was amazing and I and my family just loved it, you could have as you could eat a d the selection was amazing. The intertainment was great but not outstanding,the only point I would make is that the lifts were very slow and for the amount of people trying to get into the lift ...
