Because this was my first cruise, I can not compare it with other cruise lines ... I can however compare it with the many vacations I've taken over the years. Wow ... this by far has been the best vacation.
The service was unparalleled. From the stateroom attendant to the wait staff we were catered at every opportunity. The check in process took a total of 5-7 minutes ... I kept thinking they missed something, but in fact they are incredibly organized. Booking the day tours in onboard was another 5-7 minutes to purchase and complete all four tours.
Upon arrival at our stateroom we were greeted with incredible views from our balcony. The size of the room was more than adequate as we booked (D1) Superior balcony room on the 9th deck. A balcony room is a must as you will see many islands as you cruise through the Greek Isles.
Great location ... near the elevators, yet not next to it. The balcony was a welcomed sight for many sunsets. The room was spacious with more than adequate closet space and shelves for clothes. There were also clothes drawers for your use. The safe was easy and convenient. The bathroom was plenty big with enough storage space for all your toiletries. The bed was comfortable and large with a sofa bed available for reading and watching television. The vanity area provided much needed desk space as well.
