Having just read a review for the Constellation’s Turkey and Greek Isles cruise I felt compelled to put pen to paper (so to speak) as I think I must have been on a different cruise.

We came away from the cruise thinking it was one of the best we’ve been on. I base this mainly on the general atmosphere and friendliness on the ship; the fact that the weather was very kind to us; and the ports were great, many of which we had never visited.

We loved the daily show hosted by Cruise Director JC with Mark as his sidekick. They were a brilliant duo. I don’t think we have ever laughed so much at a daily show. If we weren’t able to see the whole show before breakfast we always caught up sometime during the day. One of the good things about the daily show was that you were introduced to the entertainers (musicians, illusionists, comedians) who were due to give performances that day in the theatre. This encouraged us to go to shows we might otherwise have missed and we thought they were really good. We particularly liked Nicola Loud (violinist) and Steve Caouette (comedian.) The crew talent show (more below) hosted by the Cruise Director was very entertaining. I have since heard JC singing on video clips on the net and he should seriously consider doing a set. JC was also an excellent host at the Cruise Critic Connections Party. We also liked the timing of the two theatre shows, 7 and 9pm which seemed to work well around dinner arrangements. Read more
