Firstly Windstars site does not work properly so had to phone to book excursions we wanted to do. Toll call to America listening to what a wonderful stress free cruise etc we were going to experience.
Wines are very disappointing about American supermarket quality. No decent Italian wines. The food except for the BBQ night was pretty poor to average. (have had better food and wine staying at a club Med resort) Some guests left after 3 days because of this, they had been on Windstar cruises before but said never again.
Some staff are friendly and helpful, some are not, Bar manager snatched my cocktail off the table before I had finished it was quite rude.
Balcony suite had just been refurbished, Bathrooms have not and are a little tired. Balcony is just two doors that open on to small ledge. NOT a balcony really. Also pillows are quite hard and are foam. Though cabins are serviced you have to ask for the toiletries to be stocked up ( This is the first time ever that I have had to ask for them)
Very easy to get around on your own by train etc. Find guides at most places very helpful. People are friendly and helpful if you are not sure of where to go
Excellent, loved the history having an excellent and interesting guide makes all the difference
Mdina not really worth it, not really romantic guide could not speak English very well.
love Sorrento once we got up to the top. I suggest finding the Lift if you don't want to get run over . Or if you don't like heights as the staircase is very steep.
