Sail Date: Sep 2012

Recently we travelled to Europe for the first time. As new retirees, and having disposed of children, we decided to travel for a month encompassing a cruise around the Greek Islands and then onto a European River Cruise, which I will rave about in another review.

As I said, new to travelling so the first mistake was to fly without a break from Adelaide (Sth Australia) to Singapore, 6 hours layover then an 11hr flight to Athens. Another 4.5 hrs layover before a short flight to Heraklion (Crete). Singapore Airlines was fabulous, second leg was Agean Air and ok.

By the time we got to Heraklion we were tired, hungry, smelly and ready for bed. Not really the thing to do when boarding a ship at 1:30pm. Embarkation process was long even though we were the only two people waiting to board Costa's Atlantica. Other passengers were trickling in slowly that day, most had boarded in Rhodes.
