Amazing port intensive cruise with a group of 36 friends

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Enchantment of the Seas

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

One of our friends had been bumped from a scheduled cruise by a charter 5 years ago. Between additional charter bumps , better pricing for just making a new booking and Covid they finally landed on this cruise. We have a group of friends who travel in a pack and as soon as one family booked, we ended up a group of 36 going on this cruise. We originally were booked on Brilliance but then the new ...

Hit and Miss

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Jewel of the Seas

Bob 951
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We did consecutive cruises for a total of nineteen nights on Jewel. Terrific Itinerary with nine different islands in the Med included. As others have stated, Jewel of the Seas is tired, mostly showing in our balcony stateroom. Chipped paint in the bathroom. Rust on the balcony. Drawers and cabinets literally falling apart. The mattress was hard, the pillows awful, and the sheets were ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Jewel of the Seas

6-10 Cruises • Age 20s

This was our 7th overall Cruise (3rd with Royal) and I will say personally - we enjoyed this Cruise as our best overall. My wife and I celebrated a significant wedding anniversary and our thoughts/ratings were consistently similar. I waited one week so I could absorb and let saturate all of our experiences. First - the condition of the ship we both thought was Excellent. Our cabin (we ...

Enjoyed the cruise experience, but very expensive to add extras

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Jewel of the Seas

JulianHGS
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Positives: The balcony stateroom we had on deck 10 was comfortable, lots of clothes hanging space and hangers. Asked for dressing gowns and they were provided for us without hesitation. Excellent quality food at all meal times - in Tides restaurant and Windjammer - with so much variety. Could bring 2 x bottles of wine onboard on embarkation day (but note not at any port stops during ...

Vision of a Great Time!

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Vision of the Seas

Sparky_MN
First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

I think these reviews are generally a better reflection of the attitude of the cruiser, or the company they're with, than anything else. So in the interest of full and fair disclosure I have a fun-loving, do what I want attitude, and I'm only 28 so I don't complain all that much. Not to mention I was traveling with one of my best friends and we also met some really great people on this ship that ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Vision of the Seas

Sangamo
First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

We selected this cruise for the itinerary and it did not disappoint. Embarkation in Piraeus not great; port is hard to get to and ship's transfer is probably worth the money here. We have cruised Princess and Norwegian previously; this was our first cruise on RC. Vision was slightly smaller, but public rooms generally well kept up. Stateroom was small and in average repair, but we were ...

HOLY LAND: 9-29-10-9: WONDERFUL, UNIQUE ITINERARY!

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Vision of the Seas

rickhurley
First Time Cruiser • Age 80s

We have cruised on many ships before but this was our first with Royal Carib. We met many folks on the ship that are religiously devoted to this cruise line so I do hope I won't offend anyone if I sound a critical note here and there; in doing so, I hope to help other cruisers and also help the line improve where needed. That being said, I have mostly praise for the ship and the line. About 10-12 ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Voyager of the Seas

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This is our 13th tour but our first on Royal Caribbean. Previous tours are on Celebrity We took a bus from Athens Airport right to the door of Alexandros Hotel which we booked on Hotels.com. The bus was very reasonable price, easy and the bus driver told us when we arrived at the correct stop. We found the bus was the best way to get around Athens. The front desk staff suggested a local ...

Jewel of the Seas - Northern Europe

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on Jewel of the Seas

Roy Smith
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Jewel is simply a beautiful ship, so much space we never saw everything available. We cruised the Baltic stopping in Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, St Petersburg and Tallinn. Embarkation in Harwich was smooth and quick, we were onboard and in our cabin within 45mins of arriving at the car park. Our cabin, on the stern, has a spacious balcony holding two chairs and two loungers. Loads ...
