First time cruisers...will definately do it again!

I went with a friend on Ancient Wonders Cruise, Easter mediterranean in May 2012. The cruise went from Turkey, Greece and back to Turkey again. We did fly cruise and the cruise ship (even though we were the last ones to arrive from dalaman airport) was fabulous! First port of call after a day's sailing was Istanbul: Everything about Istanbul is a taste of the exotic. Fragrant bazaars echoing with the sound of haggling merchants, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace Hagia Sofia, Spice Market & Grand Bazaar. We chose to explore all the places independantly and it can be done- just be adventourous and use the tram stops to get from one to the next stop. Leave plenty of time for the Grand Bazaar! And haggle, haggle haggle.....

2nd port of call was Mytilene - LESBOS. We decided to do a half day tour. The weather was not good which kind of put a dampener on the day- It's a small island not much to see really - piece of history only and you get to see the port.

Cabin Review

Cabin stewards clean up after you and tidy your cabin twice a day. Beny was our one and he was brilliant. We miss you Beny! they even fold your pyjamas and fold your toilet tissue in a V shape!

Our cabin was Deluxe cabins with 2 single beds. Our deluxe cabins was fully air-conditioned and have a picture window, 2 full length wardrobes, 2 chairs and table, colour TV, safe at a charge, hairdryer, mini bar and en suite bathroom. Deluxe cabins are 19 m>>. When booking a cabin make sure the view is not obstructed by lifeboats. Plenty of room to get ready in. 2 negative points: 1) window did not open-no balcony on this ship either and 2) air conditioning in en suite noisy and cannot switch off.
