I thoroughly enjoyed my cruise! From the moment that we came aboard we had such great service and smiling faces. We had a jam packed 13 days of shore excursions and it was amazing the way the excursions were organized so professionally and they always gave you good advice on where to go and how to stay safe. The music was great it was catered more for the older generation but they had a lot of great activities for everyone to enjoy. The food, drinks, specialty dining were excellent. The dining and beverage package I recommend because we enjoyed drinking and having the option to going to specialty restaurants. The service on the boat was exceptional everyone was courteous and they were there for any questions or concerns we had, which were few! I loved this cruise so much that I would go again, and we are actively planning our next trip as we speak. The only recommendation was I which the WIFI was not so expensive.
It was an awesome view and the cabin was very clean and we could not be more happy than to have our steward Alistar with us. He made our experience enjoyable, and he left cool towel animals and always made sure we had everything we needed.
I loved it no shore excursion was needed. We ventured by ourself...we took the tram and went to the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar and stayed there all day and it was the best day ever. We haggled for prices and we had to convert our dollars/ euros to liras but it was great because 1 dollar was worth 3 liras. So we had a great deal of things and please try apple tea.
For what we did see on the bus, it was nice but we only had a couple of hours before we had to get to port to check in. But what we did see was breathtaking!
