My wife and I are destinations cruisers. We chose this cruise because it began and ended in Rome, with stops in Naples, Italy; Ashdod, Israel (Jerusalem); Haifa, Israel; Mykonos, Greece; Athens, Greece; and Crete.
Embarkation in Rome was not up to UIS standards but certainly manageable from a time stand point.
Debarkation was a snap because we had a Rome tour the morning we returned.
I thought that the cabin was very nice. It was clean and neat. My wife complained about the lack of storage space - but wife is not known as a "light" traveler, so she complains about all cabins unless we book a suite. It was ideal for two cruisers.
Embarkation: Everything went very well.
