i. Eish! Not so Magnifica! On boarding, there is no orientation and you are left to figure out on your own where everything is located – all 14 decks worth!

ii. We had paid for the welcoming champagne and canapés on arrival in our cabin. Not there! We called and it was eventually delivered – the canapés were stale – and had clearly been prepared many hours previously.

iii. The cabin was quite lovely – suitcases fitted under the bad – the balcony with a table and 2 chairs really a plus! Bed was comfortable, and bathroom fine. Cabin was tidied and cleaned daily.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Adequate though very small. Having a balcony was definitely a plus.

Port Reviews

Katakolon (Olympia)

Most enjoyable ins pite of the idiotic tour guide that had a real chip on his shoulder about the German tour guide!

Izmir

Absolutely worth every cent - wonderful tour guide; great excusion. One MAJOR minus: we were taken to a leather factory and retailer - given a "fashion show" and then subjected to a hard sell - we wasted at least 90 minutes there, causing us to miss lunch. We were a captive audience and had no alternative but to stick it out. VERY poor show.

Izmir

Quaint if you are religious which I am not...quite a long trip there - would have preferred a longer time at Ephesus.

Dubrovnik

OK - but very windy and rainy but the tour guide did her best under the circumstances!

Dubrovnik

Interesting in spite of the weather!
