I am fairly confident that I, too, traveled with the same group as CarolinaGirl (just at a different time) as my mother won the trip through her business as well. Personally, if we had paid for the cruise, I would be fighting mad. The ship itself is in fair condition (it should be for only being 5 years old) but the staterooms are small and the furnishings are not at all comfortable-- rock hard beds, lifeless pillows, stained/torn towels and robes, tv rarely worked, etc, etc. I truly don't have much of anything good to say about the cruise- this is easily the worst of 7 cruises that I've taken.

The ports were fairly interesting and I would recommend going on excursions in most places. The last 3 days were actually our favorite with Mykonos, Corfu and Dubrovnik. The history of the ports is truly amazing and is something that we miss out on being in the US.

The other guests are truly what made this trip miserable. Being American, I have a certain amount of respect for other's personal space.... not so true in other cultures. The guests are from all over, and as you've seen in other reviews, most all messages were repeated in 4-5 different languages (which gets pretty old after a while). For some reason the older generations are the most pushy and not afraid to jump in front of you in line, at the buffet or even in the restroom. The crew truly moves like a bunch of robots and have next to zero interest in actually serving you... after speaking with one of the employees he said they work 11 hours/day for 9 months straight. No vacation days will probably do that to a person.

Cabin Review

Cabin 6

Decent storage with large closet and drawers; doors seperating balconies made constant banging noise when underway; bathroom fair, tiny shower, cheap toiletries so make sure to bring your own; a lot of hallway noise; tv rarely worked, if ever
