Venice Cruise Reviews

The worst cruise experience we've had. Our cabin bathroom smells like drains so we have to put our hand towels over the two drain openings to prevent the stench from polluting our whole cabin. The buffet tables are filthy and don't get wiped after each usage or even after each meal time. The hand sanitisers at the doors to the dining areas are all empty and a lot of people on the ship are sick. ...

We chose Windstar since they are a "luxury cruise line" and paid the price of a luxury cruise line and didn't receive that experience. The interior of the ship is dated and needs an update. You feel like you are in a retirement home when you go to the main dining areas. The food was cruise ship average and we often skipped meals. The water sports platform wasn't open either of the days as ...

We chose this ship and cruise line because we cruised 4 years ago on this ship and really enjoyed it. This time, however, was a completely different experience. We had been delayed getting to Venice to meet the ship because of Air Traffic Control glitch that had affected the UK but we had booked through NCL so they got us alternative flights the next day to meet the ship in Dubrovnik. We were ...

7th time sailing with Norwegian and might not be sailing with them again. Main buffet hall closed more than open, pool way to small for so many people, if you or anyone going, smoke than dont go on the viva, smoking area was dangerous and very slippy, deck was power hosed with people trying to walk across the wet deck and wet stairs, pointed this out and was totaly fobbed off,to little bar staff ...

I have cruised over 14 times, first and last time with MSC! Overcrowded, understaffed and dirty. Purchased a drink package, but getting a drink from the bar is a mess. Servers are overwhelmed, waiting 30 minutes, begging a bar tender to fill you order. The food is terrible! I won’t cruise with MSC again. Royal Caribbean is night and day difference and much higher quality! The buffet can’t keep up ...

We have cruised over 14 times with many different cruise lines. This was our 30th wedding anniversary and a cruise to greece.. What a mess! The staff was completely understaffed, disgruntled and overwhelmed! Getting a drink was a nightmare! The food was terrible! We were so disappointed! The dining room is usually such a memorable experience.. Not on msc! The buffets were not replenished and ...

Chose the ship to revisit the Mediterranean. Big mistake. Hair in the food on embarkation lunch. Hair in the food in the main dining room. Ship is very old with tattered carpet and chairs in the theater. If this is a refurbished ship, it needs to be retired. Boring cruise, Director with little to no interaction with us on the ship. Entertainment venues were mediocre at best. One night they just ...

Very smooth experience priority boarding in terminal. I had booked two suites and the Aurea experience, so we had a nice check in. It ended there as there was a long queue and wait for the tender. Apparently, the boat was late arriving and therefore late disembarking. These things happen but we weren't informed and had to sit freezing on the tender for over two hours and felt very ...

The MSC Armonia is old and tired. Smoking is allowed in the casino and outside at designated smoking areas. Doesn’t make the ship smell very nice. The tendering process for embarking was not explained beforehand and is extremely slow. Service is awful in the restaurants as well as the quality of food. The only reason we picked this specific cruise/company was the travel dates. Bed sheets were ...

Our two daughters my husband and myself boarded in Venice for a trip of a lifetime. We had a cabin with a toilet flushing problem. We reported the problem and engineers came on several occasions to change parts but they could never fix the problem. The ship was only 3/4 full but we were never offered another cabin. We had to use the downstairs public bathroom the entire cruise. On our last ...
