We really enjoyed this 17 day cruise from Rome to Katakolon, Athens, Izmir, Istanbul, Naples, Kotor, Split, Koper Venice. This cruise could be even better if they dropped Koper which doesn't gave much, especially after seeing all the wonderful places ahead of it, and added a day at another Greek island maybe Mykonos or another. We found Koper a lesser repetition of what we had already experienced and a Greek island would have added variety and adventure.

The ship itself is nice with an excellent crew. The Internet service is terrible even when you pay for it and it is very expensive - incredibly slow and very spotty. Cordage is slow too high. It is great yo bring a local bottle on board to enjoy so it would be nice if there was a corkage that allowed for one bottle at $10 and the second at $15. They could even offer a reduced corkage as a perk if you also have a wine subscription for the ship. We know the ship wants to sell its own wine but they are still making $10 for nothing and they make ALOT from the wine they sell on board. We often had random internet when travelling close to shore and used it more than the subscription offering.

Katakolon was a great day at a great price for the four of us as we used George's Taxi also called Taxi Katakolon as our guide and transportation. Don't do Katakolon without George! He and his friends will give you the best day, tailored to your wishes with a few extras thrown in you didn't even know about. Excellent Mercedes cars, with WiFi, and fantastic knowledge of the entire area. George is a great driver, very personable, fun and so fair for pricing any extras you decide to add on as your day goes by. Loved George.

Cabin Review

Very good position for this ship. No clubs above or around you and away from the elevators. Quiet and easy to get to restaraunts and decks. Good vilest space and good sized bathroom. Balcony could sit 4 people. Bed was large and comfortable.
