Cabin: Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

From beginning to end fantastic and so well organised. Flew direct from Newcastle on Jet2.com, and on arrival at Rome airport RCI reps were out in force. Escorted to our coach and 40 minutes later arrived at the Port. Embarkation was swift & efficient and in no time were in our Cabin. Straight up to the Windjammer for a snack. We were on this ship 6 weeks ago so we knew the layout and exactly what to expect - very high standards throughout. From the outset Staff were welcoming and this positive attitude remained consistent thoughout the whole cruise. Our D1 cabin on Deck 10 was kept immaculate by Yandi our attentive Steward who dealt effeciently with our every request. Comfortable beds, ample wardrobe space, safe, hairdryer, refrigerator etc. Dining in Chops & Giovanni's was a highly recommended experience and well worth the extra charge. Couldn't fault the casual dining in the Windjammer - selection was fantastic. Plenty of entertainment around the ship, e.g. in the Schooner Bar and Centrum Bar. Just loved the Ports on this short cruise. We are Diamond+ Members of the Crown & Anchor Society and have always appreciated their second to none Loyalty programme - we were able to take advantage of its many benefits but the crowning moment on this voyage was to be recognised as "Top Cruisers". The only criticism we would make would be that on the sea days there was a shortage of beds.

Port Reviews

Rome (Civitavecchia)

No problems - boarding the Ship was fast and efficient.

Santorini

Been many times to this beautiful very clean Greek Island where visitors are always made so welcome. Would highly recommend a visit.

Mykonos

Been so many times but never tire of this beautiful Greek Island - wonderful to wander around the see the Windmills and taste the local food, wine & coffee. Again an Island in the sun not to be missed.

Katakolon (Olympia)

A lovely unspoilt fishing village - lovely shops and very friendly locals. Recommend taking a taxi to see Olympia and its surrounding ruins. Never been before and certainly will visit again.
