Excellent cabins (8010 & 8006) only 10 new cabins with a balcony, up to date bathroom with excellent shower with glass door (not a curtain that sticks to you).
7167, 7177 and two others I cant remember were also very nice and clean.
Room service second to none (Ryan 8010 & 8006) very helpful when asked for addition info and towels, always had a smile on his face whether it was 06:00 in the morning or 22:30 at night.

plenty of shops and Tavernier's quite clean.

Corfu

Great water park all the amenities on site.

Coach trip seeing all the sites on the island, then a wine tasting at a small organic vineyard, interesting but not what I was expecting.

The usual shops selling handbag, and other items that will fall apart before you disembark.
lots to see but be prepared to be harassed if you even show the slightest interest at the many shops.

I was surprised at the amount of graffiti around, tour was by coach looking at the main places of interest (not the acropolis as only half day) plenty of time to shop in the main street where the shops are happy for you to look around and not harass you to buy, very nice people.

Very small port that looks like it only survives on the cruise ships coming in. like all ports don't buy from the first shop go further into the village for better prices,

The pools were of adequate for the size of ship but beds were sometimes hard to find as people left items on them but were no where to be seen even with a 45min rule if not used item would be removed (which I didn't see happen at all)

All in all a really good experience for all of us (12 first time cruisers) Mum & Dad seasoned cruisers enjoyed it as we did..I did read some reviews before we sailed and went in with an open mind, I did hear some people complaining about what seemed to be minor issues, miscommunicated info received for trips, booking for restaurant's were wrong (we did book the hot rock for 14 on Monday night only to be told they were expecting us on Sunday night) but stuck with Orion restaurant and just ordered steak & prawns instead)   

 Our thanks goes out to all who made this a great first time experience for us.
