In general the cruise from Athens to Venice was a great experience. But I have a problem with the included port tours. In Athens the included tour was advertised as going to the Sintagmata Square with lots of details about the change of guards, well, what we did was barely drive by the place, not even stopping to see it in more detail. Our last port in Koper was a total waste of time to do the included tour. Unless you try an optional, staying in the ship is a better use of your time, or go on your own to wander around town. Santorini, the visit to Oia it was nice, but spending an extra 45 minutes in town would have been appreciated. This is the postcard town of Santorini and we barely had time to enjoy it.

We enjoyed the cultural talks, they were very informative. The musicals and shows in general were very poor, but we do not go on cruises for their shows, but for the ports and places that they visit.

Food was very good in the restaurant and in the café, we did not have the opportunity to book a reservation in any of the alternative restaurants, because they were booked for the whole trip way before we got to the ship.
