Seriously tired ship and a terrible experience

Review for a Europe - Greek Isles Cruise on Galileo

MargaretHolland
6-10 Cruises • Age 55s

We have traveled extensively on small boat cruises and I can say this was one of our worst experiences. Our cabin reeked of sewage and our carpeting & all towels and shower curtain were badly stained and mildewed. The food was truly terrible and we had very limited meal choices. Breakfast was slow to be served and mediocre. Coffee was undrinkable. The dinners were worst of all; a short buffet of ...

Did not live up to my expectations

Review for a Europe - Greek Isles Cruise on Galileo

M Eluzabeth
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

The crew were all very nice, and Valeria, Avi and Muhammed in particular gave us great service. The food was good. I was disappointed that our itinerary, which had to be changed because of weather, had only one swim stop and no opportunities to swim off the boat, which I had been expecting. My biggest problem with the cruise was that when the toilet vacuum system on the lower deck broke on the ...

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

Friends recommended this cruise to us and it didn't disappoint. We absolutely loved it and we met the most fabulous people who we will hopefully see again one day. We were the only Australian/ New Zealanders on the cruise, there was a huge variety of nationalities, couples and singles from America, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Argentina, England, Scotland, we met a few really fabulous ...

Ancient history and places put smiles on our faces

Review for a Greece Cruise on Galileo

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We bought this cruise in a benefit auction for Aces In Motion, a non-profit in Gainesville, Florida which teaches tennis to help develop life skills and character in teenagers who want a better life!. We were delayed 3 times by covid and once by Variety but the timing of the trip 3 Nov 2022 couldn't have been more perfect. The weather did reroute us to Messalinghi which turned out to be an amazing ...

Loved it!

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

We absolutely loved our cruise. It was our very first cruise experience and it was perfect. The staff was amazing. They went above an beyond. They remembered every preference and were so helpful and enthusiastic. We really enjoyed the swim stops. Seeing only the sea and a remote, uninhabited island was so fun. The crew was great about safety and getting us to and from shore. The ...

Worst cruise ever

Review for a Greece Cruise on Galileo

Louisa1261
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Let me list the points: 1) Accommodation - we paid for a cat A cabin and on arrival were shown to a cabin with twin beds. We argued that we booked a double but manager just shrugged shoulders and said boat was full which turned out to be a complete lie. Met the couple opposite us and they had been booked into cat B and then decided they didn't like the cabin and were given an upgrade (at a ...

Wonderful small ship cruise around the Cyclades

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Galileo

Orion2006
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

This is a beautiful small ship (about 25 cabins) with an amazing crew. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The food was wonderful..authentic Greek food, perfect for our trip around these beautiful islands. Our tour coordinator, Joseph, was knowledgeable, friendly and funny a perfect combination! The stewards (food and room) were all efficient and friendly, our room was serviced twice a ...

Take this Cruise!

Review for a Greece Cruise on Galileo

empyrean
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Greece was my bucket list destination. Because we wanted to see a variety of islands and only had a short time we chose the Jewels of the Cyclades Cruise with Variety. I am glad we did. First off. The ship is charming and because of its size you spend a lot of time at port instead of getting to the port. Our Cabin was necessarily small ( its a small ship!) but well appointed. I chose Cat A ...

Terrible cruise

Review for a Greece Cruise on Galileo

travelworld2
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We normally prefer small ship cruises but this was easily the worst. We made the booking on condition that we would be allocated a cabin with a double bed,at the front of the ship. The request was acknowledged by Variety Cruises. On arrival, we were shown to a cabin with two single beds at the back of the ship ! I queried their error and they argued that there are no cabins with double ...

First time cruise.. won't be the last!!!

Review for a Greece Cruise on Galileo

DiMelb
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I have always cringed at the thought of going on a cruise on one of the larger ships so it was with trepidation that I even agreed to go on this one. Boy was I glad I did. From the minute we stepped aboard to the moment we left the ship I cant speak higher of the service from the staff on board. The ship was beautifully clean throughout with ample areas to relax in the shade or on the sundeck. ...
