We chose this cruise to visit the Greek Islands. It was our first ever cruise and was at the right date for us. We found out a lot about cruising and it is not really for us. We felt confined on the ship and with only a short time in each port we could not really get to experience much of each port. We did enjoy the nightly entertainment and the food was really very good. The service we received from the staff was excellent as well. The pool was smaller than the one we have at home. We were also very surprised that they allowed smoking in the casino. The cost of some of the activities, such as bingo, was quite expensive. We are not big drinkers and being retired we relax a lot at home so do not need to go on a cruise to relax. We did get to see the Greek Islands which would be much more difficult to do without taking a cruise.
