We had chosen this ship for tow reasons: the price and the itinerary. Because it was our first cruise, we had decided to stay in an inside cabin. Overall the experience was good if you dont count when we at at the restaurant. Here are our pros and cons.
Pros: the ship pool is smal but clean and functional. The buffet food is awsome as well as the food at the wine bar. The shows are exceptional. We did not take any excursion but enjoyed every stop we did even if sometime the time was limited (especially in Ahtens and in Albania). The staff at the reception and in most of the bar was very nice.
Cons: the food at the restaurant is average and cold. The service is lacking. Our waiters were very nice but could not give us any advice on the wine we should be taking and instead pressured us to order as quickly as possible. We finally ended it up eating at the buffet since the food and the service were better. Having read about cruises, I believe that food at the restaurant should be better and its clearly not the case. Furthermore, the pool was too small for the number of passenger. Our kids got bored.
The cabin was smal and functional. We had an amazing maid who took care of us.
Great stop! We walked around town and visite the different attractions.
Katakalon is the port to get to OIympia. We took an organised bus just outisde of the port (10 euros peur adult) and visited the site. It was a grea experience.
We first took a boat to Dellos to see the ruins. It was really beautiful and worth it. Afterward, we took a bus to a small beach where we were able to swim and enjoy the gorgous water.
Take one of the Hop on Hop off outside of the por which will allow to see the town.
Beautiful but too crowded. To go there, just take the public bus.
Our favorite port. The Albanian people are amazing!!! This is one place to see.
