We chose this cruise due to the great ports (Rhodes, Athens, Crete, Mykonos, Santorini, Malta, Messina & Naples) and the minimal number of sea days, 2. Besides the ports, the other positives are:
- Good value considering the $275 in OBC from NCL & my travel agent.
- Shore excursions were reasonably priced especially after the $50 credit for each from NCL. For the most part they were interesting and well organized.
Very quiet and comfortable even if very much on the small side. (I had it all to myself -- it's so small I can't really imagine sharing it.) Toilet was in a separate compartment that gives new meaning to the word tiny. Anyone who is obese would find the area very challenging.
Balcony was small but certainly big enough for two people. Balcony plexiglass was only washed once early in the cruise and and, consequently, was so dirty it was diificult to see through it.
Took public transportation and did a self-guided tour of Herculaneum which is fantastic, a definite must-see for anyone with archeological interests.
