Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Viking Saturn

6-10 Cruises • Age 80s
We traveled via Viking Air Business Class going and Premium Economy upon return, arranging our hotel in Istanbul for three days before embarkation and doing the post-cruise extension in Athens upon disembarkation. We traveled as three seniors.
Travel to and from the cruise was arranged through Viking Air months before the cruise with recurrent notices of dates times, airline booking codes, and ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Riviera
Trekker Dude
10+ Cruises • Age 70s
We're seasoned cruisers with over 30 cruises on most of the major cruiselines but not Oceania. We went on 3 Oceania Riviera cruises in 2023, Sep/Oct from Amsterdam to Barcelona and then back to back cruises in Nov/Dec from Barcelona to Istanbul and then Istanbul to Dubai. My review is on all 3 cruises on the same ship.
We booked the Holyland & Middle East cruise the first day it was available ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Seabourn Encore
Limitless Horizon
2-5 Cruises • Age 50s
We've just returned from a 7 night cruise from Istanbul to Athens on the Encore and overall our experience was good.
The crew are super professional, warm, welcoming and give the impression that nothing is too much trouble.
The ship was familiar to us as we'd sailed on it's slightly younger sister, the Ovation back in 2019. The design of these ships is relatively simple, there are no real ...

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Seven Seas Voyager
Mysticmerlin
2-5 Cruises • Age 50s
First time Regent clients here and thoroughly disappointed. The Penthouse suite we stayed in was very nice, but also tired. The Butler service overhyped and unnecessary in our opinion - just canapés delivered daily and a mini bar also topped up daily - only it wasn’t and required reminders. The vast majority of their waiting staff and all of the housekeeping teams were fabulous. The reception ...

After having a wonderful cruise on the Mariner in June we decided we wanted to book Regent again and what a complete difference between the 2 cruises
Most of the staff was very miserable, hardly any staff ever smiled.
Shore excursion desk the staff looked like don’t bother me and go away
Wifi unacceptable
Food compared to Mariner was terrible, i think the chef and food director were ...

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Sirena
Travels a lot
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s
We booked a penthouse suite and splurged because it came with a butler and the ability to have meals in our room, plus a balcony. Our butler, Samrat, was excellent and if you can afford the cost of a PH room I’d recommend it. Only do not book room 8045. We asked to be changed the minute we got into the room because as Samrat was talking, I couldn’t pay attention due to the scraping noises above ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Splendida
TvanMiletus
2-5 Cruises • Age 40s
To be fair, my wife and i had a fine cruise. We had booked a cruise on MSC Splendida due to the route and we were not disappointed. For October the weather was excellent. It is a pity there is always a time constraint not allowing you to visited all the places you want to, however we knew the route and the timetable.
Best part of the ship is the crew. Friendly and helpful, hard working, making ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Silver Spirit
Lellyb
10+ Cruises • Age 60s
We have over 130 days travel with SS on various ships and each time and on each ship we have felt ‘special’ and enjoyed every aspect - food, service, entertainment - everything. However, we really struggled to enjoy this cruise. In the Atlantide the food was served luke-warm and on occasions, after long wait. Even then accompanying sauces and butter had to be chased up. The extremely sparse and ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Carnival Venezia
euclid4
10+ Cruises • Age 60s
Very ornate as far as design. Extremely over crowded to say the least. Parking is $45 nightly????? No cruise director keeping you updated and informed. Rarely heard from cruise director at all and he showed noooo enthusiasm at all. Someone’s cousin needed a job? Truly let down by this cruise. I love Carnival ( over 50 nights) Not sure what happened on this cruise. Same breakfast offered every day. ...
