We chose the cruise mainly for the intinery. Iconic islands. Santorini, syros, crete, bodrum, kefalonia. This was our first time on this ship, having previously sailed on thomson majesty and island escape. We thoroughly enjoyed this cruise, and wouldnt hesitate to sail again. The staff are very friendly, and we found no problems with the layout of the ship. We did not experience any problems at all with getting served with bar drinks, as stated on this forum, and we had the all inclusive package. Yes, i agree, there arent as many waiting staff, but we were always served within 1 minute or less at the bar.

Didnt manage the sail away party, having been awake since 4am, so cant comment on that, but others said that it was a fab night.

We mainly dined in the orion restaurant (waiter service) and i can honestly say, the four course evening meal was the best food ive ever tasted. Food orders are taken promptly, and the food was delivered in good time. The wine waiters were fab too, always filling our glasses afte we had only taken a few sips! Excellent! We also had a couple of breakfasts in this restaurant too, which were very nice. We only ate at the self service dining restaurant on one occasion, so cant really comment on that. Read more
