Europe Family Cruises Cruise Reviews

After a wait of about 18 months, we chose this cruise as we weren't interested in a staycation and we wanted to experience a bit of warm sunshine. This ticked both boxes. The ship is looking great, crew were continually wiping down surfaces. You had to wear a mask whilst on the move bit if anyone didn't or just simply forgot ( I was guilty of that a few times ) , they gave a polite reminder and ...

Long time cruisers, went for experiencing mini suite, club class, plus package of all inclusive drinks, WiFi at cheap as chips price. Not fussed about a cruise to nowhere, just wanted to experience it again albeit expecting a few changes and restrictions due to COVID. A few learning points. Forget your booked embarkation slot- rack up as soon as drive through COVID test centre opens( 11am?). ...

Booked as a package from the UK, so included flights and transfers which was very convenient. Testing procedure at the port very easy and efficient. Approx 500 on board and 850 crew. This resulted in some crew being a bit bothersome in "selling" services...the speciality restaurants, spa etc. Being bothered during dinner in the middle of your main course twice to try and get us to buy ...

DH and I had decided we would not cruise until the Pandemic was history. Then in June, along came a deal, Covid numbers were decreasing, and we booked a Greek Island Cruise for August.2021. It seemed that immediately after our booking the Covid numbers spiked to levels surpassing 2020. It seemed Greece and our departure port in Cyprus were hitting the news. So we turned off our TV and called ...

This was our first cruise in 22 years, and our first time on Princess. We only booked this about 3 weeks ago when one of those tempting emails came through from that “top 20 deals of the week” company. Our drive from Northamptonshire to Southampton was uneventful, bar a detour through Winchester to avoid a nasty accident on the M3. With the SatNav armed with the postcode for dock 4/5, it was ...

If you want to get cruising again - do it. Its a safe way to cruise There was a small amount or doubt, its not the Caribbean (our usual choice for cruising) and the weather in the UK can be questionable. However the sun shone - a lot. At times you could have been anywhere in the world. Its clear the ship can chase the sun. There are no ports of call and no real agenda so I guess they can go ...

Good bein back reviewin cruises.. spent few nites before cruise in Athens sightseeing whic i recommend! Port was fairly close by.. we had aset time to arrive and get tested.. was efficient and after our results we hoarded.. masks must be worn in public indoor spaces and captain makes daily reminders to do so.. on deck some did and others did not.. if u order from bar u must have mask on! ...

We absolutely loved this cruise because it concentrated only on Greece with all it history and uniqueness. We were able to see best parts of the Greece and enjoy the comfort of the ship. We visited 6 major Islands, Olympia and spend a few days in Athens after cruise. Our only wish was better port hours because each island has it's own beauty and we wanted more time to explore them. ...

Excellent cruise with Covid protocols adhered to. Masks worn by everyone at all times except passengers in outside spaces or eating and drinking inside. Excellent service in Grand Cuvee restaurant by all waiters and sommelier. Premium drinks not available as advertised in Craft Social. Blamed on deliveries! A little pointless upgrading to Premium drinks package. Struggled to get drinks ...

3 days out of Southampton, with nowhere to go, but around ship, to Enrichment sessions and shows. What a way to get back to cruising and relaxing. Embarking was smooth, with well organised lateral flow testing, car drop off, luggage pick up and clear instructions. Cabin ready straight away, so quick unpack then time to chill. Lovely friendly and efficient staff, plenty of choice for food and ...
