Sail Date: Nov 2018

I have been on this ship last year (Feb 2018)(Tampa/Belize/Roatan/Cozumel/Costa Maya) and it was an excellent experience overall. My partner and I booked this ship again and did a Mediterranean cruise (Venice/Dubrovnik/Kotor/Santorini/Katakolon). I was excited initially as I brought my brother and sister-in-law and it was their first time to cruise.

Can’t really complain with the cabin as we booked an interior cabin and it served its purpose considering we will be out most days anyway. However, we have noticed that there are elements in the room that are really run down and needs replacing. But for the price we paid, didn’t really bother me that much.

The embarkation was ok, no complaints, pretty smooth actually.

Port Reviews

Venice

This is my second time in Venice and if you’ve seen it once you’ve seen it all. I would suggest to take the water boat to Murano (Take route 3) - about 20 mins from Piazzale Roma, and ~35 mins from Murano you can go to Burano (Take Route 12) which is much nicer and less tourists!

Dubrovnik

This would’ve been nicer if it wasn’t raining! Only explored the old city walls and it was amazing!

Kotor

We took a taxi to Budva outside the port (€80) - there were 4 of us so not so bad. Budva is nicer than Kotor itself in my opinion, worth visiting!

Santorini

Loved this stop! My favourite! However the ship stops in Fira. Take a cable car to the top because if you walk, you’ll be dead when you reach the top! Take a taxi from Fira to Oia - it’s much nicer and breathtaking!

Katakolon (Olympia)

We took a taxi from the port to Olympia (€80). There’s not really much to see here but it was a relaxing end to the trip as you can get a beer or gelato and sit at the port.
