We were on a 12 day Greek Island cruise that started in Venice and finished in Rome. We chose the Westerdam because of its ports and day trips. The ports were everything we hoped for. Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Olympia, Delos, Naples were all wonderful.

We had a Neptune Suite in cabin # 7151. The ship had been recently refreshed and as a result the cabin was quite nice. Spacious, clean and lots of closets. This is a corner cabin at the aft of the ship with an amazing wrap around balcony. Our cabin steward was very friendly and attentive.

We enjoyed breakfast on our balcony every morning. The food was always delivered on time and was clearly the best meal of the day. Dinners in the main dining room were very poor. The waiters were pleasant but they did not make up for the flavourless, over cooked food. Salads were frequently delivered with brown lettuce. We ate 5 nights in one of the two specialty restaurants. The food was better in the specialty restaurants but it was still over cooked and tasteless. As hard as it is to believe the buffet was probably the best choice for the freshest, best tasting food.
