Sail Date: Apr 2017

This was a 50 day cruise and the most wonderful experience of my whole life. The crew was wonderful, kind and attentive. The ship is beautiful and very well appointed.

The food was wonderful..My husband preferred the buffet (World Cafe) but I loved The Restaurant and both of the specialty restaurants. The menus were delicious and varied and included duck and celery root puree.

Both my husband and I enjoyed the entertainment, especially the guest lecturers. The stage shows were fun and interesting. The guest entertainers charming and skilled.

Cabin Review

Cabin Penthouse Veranda

Lovely couch and chair. Plenty roomy enough for 2 for a 50-day cruise. A Deluxe Veranda would be a little too small for such a long journey. It has two chairs but no couch in the smaller cabin. We have sailed in both and can compare.

The veranda is lovely with pleasant chairs and a table. We spent several lovely hours watching the sea and the ports. Lovely large window to look out of when not on the veranda.

Port Reviews

Athens (Piraeus)

The city of Athens is full of condominiums and orange trees! Quite a sight.

Katakolon (Olympia)

What a beuatiful place and very interesting to see the ruins of the original site of the Olympics

Kotor

I was not feeling well so did not take an excursion. I did get off the ship and the port itself was beautiful with colorful houses bordering it.

Corfu

We knew Corfu slightly and walked around to places we knew. It was Easter but everything was open and roaring. We know a little bakery that makes wonderful little vegetable pasties. Fun to eat and carry with you.

Santorini

We loved Santorini and had a great time in a local bar.
