Additional details
My husband and I were first time cruisers so didn't really know what to expect however we weren't disappointed with the ship, its lovely crew members and the destinations we visited.
Real positives:
The embarkation process was slick and straightforward and the glass on champagne on arrival was very welcome although you don't get much time to drink it before making your way to your cabin.
Cabin Review
Ocean View 8
The size, shape and layout of the cabin was excellent and the only reason I have indicated that this is average is because of the stagnant smell which we suffered for the first 3 days of the cruise.
Port Reviews
Rome (Civitavecchia)
Embarkation - slick and straightforward, no queues when we arrived so we were on board in no time.
Istanbul
Liked the city but we were kind of railroaded into taking a local minibus hire by one of the guys outside the port. This ended up being driven to the 'main sites' but also to the shops of their 'friends' to ensure we spent money with them.
Kusadasi
Enjoyed this port, there is a lovely walk along the beach to the marina and lots of great shops offering a better quality of goods and better prices than Istanbul.
Mykonos
Best island of the tour, stunningly beautiful, really wanted to stay longer here.
Athens (Piraeus)
Hopped on the local bus into Athens, $4 for the day and you can hop on and off. Goes directly from the port to the Acropolis and from there you can walk around Athens and then just hop on the direct bus back to the port. Great city and lovely people.
