Best service in buffet we've had. Very efficient and friendly. Food up to standard.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Veranda 2C
At start of hump, slightly rear-facing, port side.
Only view down affected; view out over lifeboats is fine.
Great location near elevators, but no noise for the atrium.
No issue with smoke from smokers on deck 5.
Definitely one I'd go for again.
Port Reviews
Naples
Took a 20 Euro shuttle from the port to Herculaneum; worked well.
Jerusalem (Ashdod)
Celebrity messed up disembarkation badly; see my review. Toured with GTI, staying in Jerusalem overnight, which saved a lot of travel.
Haifa (Tel Aviv)
Tour with GTI - all went well.
Mykonos
Took ferry to Delos - amazing place well worth visiting.
Athens (Piraeus)
Took the X80 service bus to the Acropolis, and visited the Acropolis Museum - and absolutely superb museum. Then mooched around the Place, and caught the bus back. No need to spend many $$$$$!
Crete (Heraklion)
Visited Souda/Chania, which isn't separately listed! Lovely town and a pleasant half day wandering round. Shuttle - less than 10 Euros return - worked well.
