I wanted a Mediterranean Cruise and in particular one that visited the Greek Islands. The ports of call on this cruise were great. We had been to Rome and Florence before, but the other ports were new to us. Mykonos and Malta far exceeded my expectations. Because of the Grand Prix, we did not get to visit Monoco, but Nice and Antipas (French Riviera) were nice. The guide in France was our least favorite of all the guides we had. The 12 day cruise went by quickly, and I could have spent another week I enjoyed it so much. The time of year must have been right, because our weather was perfect. While this was not one of Royal Caribbeans newest ships, I did not see any sign of aging, it was well maintained. Service was good as was the food. I was surprised how smoothly the embarkation and disembarkation went. It had been a few years since my last cruise, and the process has been much improved. I would love to do it again some day!
