Additional details

Sail Date: May 2011

Our cruise started in Venice (stayed overnight and disembarked the 2nd day), went to Kotor, Montenegro; then Athens, Greece; Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey; Bodrum, turkey; Santorini, Greece; Mykonos, Greece; and finally Split, Croatia.

The ports of call were really great -- some I would not visit if I were planning a land trip, but very interesting and nice to visit and I am glad we got the chance to visit them all.

The weather was gorgeous throughout -- some drizzling rain at times, but was quick to pass, and happened most often in the afternoons after we had come back to the ship anyway and were leaving port.

Cabin Review

Cabins were standard. Didn't really like the showers -- water got everywhere, and it took me a few days to figure out how to turn on the hot water (it's sort-a like a throttle lever, whereas the other knob controls how strong the stream is), and it's a rather cramped area, even for me -- i'm a very petite person -- have trouble finding clothes that fit petite. I can only imagine how anyone else fared showering, and women especially -- long hair, don't wash our hairs EVERY day, necessarily. Otherwise, standard. They had our beds separated, initially, but our stateroom attendant asked if we wanted them combined, and they did it before we came back to our room. We also did not have a wet bar set up when we got there, nor did we want one, and that never became a problem when it came time to reconcile the charges. We had an ocean view and I have to say that I loved it! Would definitely get an ocean view again! I've known this about cruise ships, but it always weirds me out -- you can hear people around you from the insides of your cabin, and it's not really that they are being loud so you can hear them. I imagine that they're just thin walls.
