Never been near the Adriatic or the Balkan countries, thought this as a way to touch on some of them. The cabin was excellent as well as the cabin service. Dining for the most part was very good but the upscale venues left a bit to be desired. The dress code was not uniformly enforced, seemed that some guests were allowed to ignore. The shore excursions were poor and in general a waste of time and money. I would recommend arranging one's own tours or sight seeing. One of the stops was Santorini, could not see what the draw is, needs a good going over, looked tired. The 4 ports we stopped at (Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro) were exceptionally clean and people very friendly, I would certainly visit ant of them again particularly Kotor in Montenegro, breathtaking vistas. I would say this is not a cruise for children, very adult in structure. I emphasize the service was beyond reproach by the cabin attendants.
