Sail Date: Mar 2015

This cruise was apparently the first of the season for Spirit: from Cyprus via Turkey and Greece (Santorini) to Israel before return to Limassol. The weather was poor until Israel, something to consider in future for this area.

Embarkation took an age; very few staff to cope with the long queues waiting in the wind and rain.

There is no getting away from the fact that the Spirit has seen better days. It is an old workhorse being flogged to death, and you can only paint over the rust so many times. The crew never stop, seeming to be on duty practically every hour of the day. They do their best, but it is obvious they are working within very limited budgets.

Antalya

Taxi drivers and boat owners touting for business. Pleasant town a short distance from where ship docks. Not worth taking excursion, unless want to see view from castle at top of very, very steep hill.
