For the most part it was great, loved that we got to experience 4 islands. The food in the windjammer was great, as for the dining room, it was just not up to par with the experience we had years ago with Royal caribbean. It was a real bland tasting menu. I was expecting more of a menu that would have reflected the regions that we where sailing especially in the dining room.

the most expensive shore excursions that we booked was the kayaking over 239$US Santorini each (2)and was not at all what we expected. The excursions should have been canceled as the sea was not a calm one the be able to visit sites that where expected. the luncheon that was expected consisted of 2 stuffed grapes leaves, 2 stuffed olives, carrots and celery, with a small square of cheese. No history of the region could be told as everyone was bobbing in the waves.

Ports Civitavecchia, arrival 6 august. We are all asked to put our luggage in the hallway between 7-11 pm the night before we disanbark...Did what we where asked to. Our luggage where in the hallway bu 7:30pm. To retreive our luggage you are given tangs with numbers. You are to go to the numbered station and get your suitcases. Ours where not there, 2 different suitcases of different colors where missing. For over 1hr in 1/2 we where looking for our suitcases, i kept on asking could they be still on board. No mame they are not on board. I finaly took on myself and returned to the boat, got on and asked for help. The wonderful attendant (security) found it within 5 minutes. Our suitcases where going to be going on the next greek island trip.
