Watch out for the compulsory charge of about £500 per person was that successfully hidden from us. On the website it clearly states "Gratuities are always included. " We interpreted it one way, they meant it another. They do not tell you how much it will be until it's too late. It added about £1000 to our shipboard account that we could ill afford. Other than that we had a great time.Read More

The itinerary was excellent and all excursions were extremely good with knowledgeable guides.
All staff aboard Riviera were extremely efficient and friendly
Penthouse Suite offered excellent accommodation with superb steward and butler service included
Food was very good with Red Ginger and Jacques speciality restaurants standing out above the others. Always a good choice and variety of food in Main Dining Room and Terrace cafe.
Entertainment whilst limited was to an excellent standard for a small ship experience. Would much rather accept this quality and size of ship than the much larger sized ships on the seaRead More

First the positive; the stateroom had been refreshed and was much improved with the bathtub and small shower being replaced by a large shower. The shelves and draws in the bathroom were great. We had a concierge statement and therefore had access to the lounge. The snacks in the lounge were usually some very boing small cakes and cookies with the addition of sandwiches at odd times. Definitely to as good as last time. Generally, speaking the specialty restaurants were not as good as last time, especially the Polo restaurant, were most people on the cruise agreed the meat in the restaurant was not great. Red Ginger was excellent as was Jacques. Generally the food wasn’t as good as our last trip. It certainly wasn’t the best cuisine at sea.Read More
