We booked this cruise over a year before sailing and were a little sceptical as we had only cruised Celebrity once before and that was on Silhouette for a 4 night trip from Southampton.
Departing from Ravenna makes things a little more complicated, but we had an amazing few days in Bologna before we caught the train to Ravenna. A few days before flying out we booked the shuttle from Ravenna ...
Outstanding: Of our some 30 cruises, both ocean and river, this was among the 3 best overall, and the best in multiple regards particularly food and beverage. (A post-covid cruise we took on 1 of those 3 best was now unsatisfactory.) Considering we are still coming out of covid, and that Azamara recently changed ownership, with attendant start-up problems with the website, the performance of ...
It’s true, the Infinity needs an overhaul but it still is a beautiful ship but the crew is what was most impressive. We were told it is going into dry dock in January for an overhaul.
We are long time cruisers and have been sailing with Celebrity since before they were purchased by RCCL, almost 30 years ago. We chose this itinerary because we hadn’t yet been to Croatia.
Leaving from Athens ...
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 ...
We went with 12 family members and everyone had a good time. The food was good and the entertainment was excellent. No complaints about the cruise at all other than the usual line ups complaints etc. The staff were nice and we enjoyed getting to know some of the crew. Our room was an inside cabin which I wasn't excited about but it turned out to be perfect. It was quiet and we couldn't tell what ...
We really loved the sailing element of this Mediterranean cruise, and the feel of being on a small ship. The sails were up most of the time, although I’m not sure how much of our journey was carried out under pure sail rather than ‘motor-sailing’, because of course they do have to keep to schedule.
Star Flyer is a beautiful, elegant ship – lots of brass and varnished wood, and neatly coiled ...
TLDR: Updated/clean ship with good itinerary, poor embarkation/debarkation process
This was my 4th NCL cruise (11 cruises total). My family (4 of us) stayed in two obstructed Oceanview staterooms on deck 8. The ship is recently refurbished so appears pretty modern inside given it is an obviously older ship (2006). I enjoy smaller ship sizes and given we were on this cruise for the itinerary the ...
This cruise could have been a disappointment. For that matter, this Greece-Turkey cruise could have been a dud. Instead the trip turned out to be our second thoroughly satisfying vacation on an Azamara ship this year.
When we first booked the Black Sea cruise last year, we were really looking forward to finally going to Istanbul and seeing a different part of the world. Then the geopolitical ...
Recommended by our travel agent and we were delighted. Service was outstanding throughout and our food excellent. The 3 restaurant choices gave us all the options we were looking for over the 17 night cruise.
The itinerary gave us the best of popular ports and smaller ones that we visited for the first time. The marina was a little disappointing as distance we could swim was limited and no ...
Me and my partner needed something to look forward to when in lockdown during Corona so we booked this trip with many months of waiting until departure. When the date was getting closer Royal Caribbean send much information regarding the safety on board and information about restrictions. It was a bit of a hassle to get the testing done when we arrived in Athens and do it at approved services ...
