Itinerary: Monte Carlo -Livornia-Civitavecchia-Sorrento-Naxos-Rhodes-Kusadasi-Piraeus (Athens). Dates: 10/22/05-10/30/05. Our experience: me (4th cruise mostly HAL previously) wife (15th -HAL, Crystal, Carnival previously).
Embarkation: Flew into Nice, met at airport and placed on bus. Driven to a hotel. Left in a large room with complimentary drinks and treats and told to stay put for about 3 hours. Much grousing from fellow passengers. Aside from going to the bathroom, nothing to see or do. Finally bussed to ship, boarded and went to room, luggage showed up an hour later. Rating: 2/6
Cabin: Nice size, clean. Separate shower and tub. Whenever you opened the door to shower, you were met with a blast of sewer gas. Cabin attendant pleasant but not around all that much. Slow to restock no-cost minibar. Telephones do not work that well. Nothing special about cabin to kick up above rating of 4 out of 6.
