This trip first attracted me because I was looking for a cruise that started in Venice and hopefully visited some ports in Greece such as Athens and the Greek Islands, This cruise filled the bill and was well priced.

Overall, the ship was lovely. The Main dining room, the main stage, the elevators and halls, were all beautiful

The cabin: My cabin was a Neptune Suite and I am very glad of it. It was very roomy, lots of closets, drawers, shelf space. I also liked the sit down vanity area with extra lighting outside of the shower/toilet area. Bedding was comfortable. Contrary to what I had read before the cruise there were many electrical outlets -- no worry there. The bath area had a tub with stand up shower and a separate shower stall. The shower stall was too tiny to be very functional but the tub shower was adequate with a nice shower head and plenty of hot water. The tub itself had some jets but they were too few and too poorly placed to be of any consequence. It was also very convenient to have access to the Neptune Lounge. Sometimes I just wanted a light continental breakfast without too much fuss and the lounge was the place. Access to the lounge concierge was also a plus. They helped me in a number of ways such as making reservations, explaining ship procedures and printing out my boarding pass for the return flight. Read more
