We chose this cruise as it was good value for money. Embarkation was excellent as we are Good members, so it was straight on board, no messing about. That's where the "good" bit ends.

1. Our stateroom was below deck 9 - pool deck, so all you could hear was pool furniture being moved about especially in the middle of the night. Our friends stateroom was next to the pool pump which was constantly on, so they were sleep deprived. when on asking if they could move rooms they were offered ear plugs! They did eventually move, but to a room below the main kitchen for the ship - not happy!!

2. The swimming pool was dirty. The lifeguards allowed children who were still in nappies to go in the pool, when signs around the pool say not. If you want to sit in the hot tub, forget it. They were dominated by teenagers. Again the pool attendants did nothing.

Port Reviews

Dubrovnik

You can walk to the walled city in about 20 minutes. Or take a taxi from the ship for €13.

Not many places take Euros.

Kusadasi

Easy walk from ship into the town, but the hassle from the Genuine Fake shop keepers is very annoying.

Santorini

Tender to shore, then take the cable car up. Please don't ride a donkey.

Katakolon (Olympia)

Gateway to Olympia. Plenty of seafront bars and cafes.
