We chose this cruise for its itinerary and great price. The ports were terrific except that the time was way too short in both Dubrovnik and Kotor, less than half a day if you include transportation to and from the old towns. The small old towns were very crowded as thousands from various cruise ships descended upon them at the same time. The crowded and hurried experience was disappointing.

The best choice for meals without an additional charge was the main restaurant which had numerous selections, some dishes were very good and some were so-so. The wait staff seemed unenthusiastic and detached. I asked our waiter how many hours a day he worked and he said 11 hours and no days off. It doesn't take a professional to know that working conditions like this lead to health problems and depression. The staff is utterly exhausted and it is very obvious. Who wouldn't be exhausted with that schedule?

The entertainment was generally good, I just felt badly for the young women who had to wear such skimpy costumes, as if their talent enough to entertain us? It was in poor taste in my opinion. Our cabin girl was simply delightful, efficient, and very thoughtful. Our cabin had been redone and we did not have any complaints as it was spacious and comfortable. The hot tubs were mostly lukewarm and the steam room was out of order. Embarkation and Disembarkation went smoothly.
