While we have been to Italy before, this itinerary provided stops at places we had not previously visited such as Capri, Amalfi, Syracuse, Messina and Montengro.
The crew could not have provided a better experience. From our room steward Gedy to the restaurant team that provided us with a plate of fresh sushi each evening in Windows before heading to the dining room. All special requests ...
We have recently returned from a 10 night cruise on Regent Seven Seas Navigator (450 pax). We are a Brit/Dutch couple aged 53/60 and have sailed with various other cruise lines, several times, but this was our first time on Regent. Last year, we tried Oceania Marina for the first time and wanted to compare the two as they are sister companies. We’ve had a great cruise but we still (currently) ...
I loved the idea of real sailing and always wanted to see the smaller ports in the Med, so when I saw that on reposition one could travel the entire width of the Med (Turkey to Caneries), I signed up for the whole 35 days.
Even with the single supplement, the price was quite reasonable; the accommodations, food and service excellent. Sailing into the small ports was as nostalgic and ...
My wife and I have always loved the "small ship" experience, and have no need to be entertained, so this was a perfect fit for us. BUT, if you need nightly entertainment, want to dine alone at a table, don't like international crowds, (I would say 60% of the passangers NOT from the USA) or are prone to seasickness, this is NOT the cruise for you. If you remember that this is first and formost ...
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 have just returned from a cruise on the azura along the croation coast flying from malta,we went with another couple ,the cruise on the azura & with p & o was very good & i dont understand a lot of the negative reviews i looked at before we left.
ok a few small issues like the buffet being crowded at times,which it will be because you have over 3000 people on board.
the balcony cabin ...
We like the smaller ships and particularly Aurora. We had wonderful calm seas for 16 days and then a Force 10 storm with high seas and missed Gibraltar as it was closed. We had already had Rhodes cancelled 6 months before the cruise and replaced with Messina, where we have been many times.
The food in the main dining room seemed to be always roast this and roast that, along with 3 veggie ...
The Celebrity Infinity is an older ship but is maintained well and the cleaning staff are first rate.
Stateroom: we had a prime oceanview cabin. We had a super bargain rate for an inside cabin including classic drinks, wifi and onboard credit, so we took the chance and bid for an upgrade which was accepted - $160 pp. Our room was kept spotless. The furnishings were a bit worn but clean. We had ...
Overall the cruise was a solid 7/10. Not at par with some other cruises I have been on but it was ok overall. Not sure if this is reflective of the 'Celebrity experience' as this was our only cruise ever with them. I didn't see a great difference.
The main dining room experience was average from a food quality experience. Not as good as prior cruises on Norwegian, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. ...
Background: I was in inside room on 9th floor, this is my 11th cruise.
I ended up on the Epic really only because of the itinerary (11 day port intensive with 3 overnight stays). I was skeptical of the ship after reading others reviews but am glad to say they are mostly overblown. However, I will note that because I was on such a port intensive cruise I really made only very limited use of the ...
