This was aour first cruise so didnt know what to expect although lots of people said it will be the best holiday you will ever have!We decided to cruise the Western Med for 1 week and then stay in Corfu for one week. The processing from flight to Ship was fine very efficient and were on the ship for lunchtime, the ship was vibrating a lot but thought when we set sail this would ease,  how wrong were we we booked a deluxe cabin on the Eagle deck (Top) thinking it was the best thing to do, it was small cluttered outdated and needed updating desperately,  the bathroom was poor and the toilet flushed when it wanted and sometimes overflowed due to the vacum system we were told.The food was excellent, plenty of choice and fresh at every mealtime, served by polite helpful staff, the dinning room did get crowded at certain times but idf you avoided peak times you were Ok.The entertainment was very Butlins Bingo Mr & Mrs and junior showtime entertainment which you had to fight for a seat to see, so only went twice.The ports we visited were lovely but we could not go to Santori as it was to windy for the tender to transport us to shore so had another day at sea and the vibrating continued! we could not go on the organised trip in Piraues one of thesites we most wanted to see as the tour guides were on strike so it was a short trip ashore and return to the vibrating noisy ship.At the end of the 7 days we couldnt wait to disembark although it took us two days to get over the moition sickness from the constant vibrating of the ship!For us this has been a very bad intro to cruising but I will try another ship perhaps on a newer larger ship but will be very wary!
