I am not an experienced cruiser and I am not a big fan of cruise ships so that may color my evaluation. However, I feel that this ship was adaquate for taking me and my wife to a number of Greek islands. The sea food was good. The deserts were good. The breakfasts were fine. My wife and I traveled independently and did belong to a tour group. The instructions and communications onboard were not all that clear. We had some aggravation trying to find out what was going on with regard to disembarking etc.
Most of the cabins were rather small and without balconies. The cabins were sufficient but not luxurious. Some of the cabins had recently been refurbished which was nice. The seating at meals was ona first come, first serve basis. There was no seating by language so sometimes we were sitting next to people who did not speak english.
