I wanted to visit the Greek Isles and this cruise ship had the best itinerary. A group of 13 booked this cruise. I was a bit concerned that it was an older ship from the NCL fleet but was extremely happy with the ship size, public areas and very helpful and friendly staff. The ship never felt cramped like on the newer NCL mega ships. Many of the venues on the ship are used for different activities, games and entertainment. Not just one area like on the Escape or Getaway. This use of different areas makes the crowd spread out instead of cramming everyone into the Atrium like on mega ships. Also more elevators. The crew and room steward where friendly and always willing to help. Only negative is that the specialty restaurant- LeBristo- took three hours for the dining experience. The Versailles restaurant was very good.

After doing many cruises on the NCL mega ships I was very pleasantly surprised at how relaxed the feeling of the ship was. I think it’s time to roll back to the smaller ships. Less cabins but more space for people!

Our entire group was very happy with the cruise!

Cabin OA

There was more space in this cabin than in the balcony cabins on the mega ships. Lots of closet and drawer space. No sofa. The bathroom is large by cruise ship standards. Shower has sliding glass door. Separate toilet area. Cabin is spotless. Our cabin steward kept it in tip top shape. Best ever service!

Loved this port. Took shuttle to old city center.

Beautiful, clean, small port area. Great for walking. High end shops. A bit on the expensive side.

Santorini

very good stop at red beach. It is actually red.

Santorini

High mountain stop. Lots of winding roads.

Corfu

Walked the town. Lively and full of the locals. Great pastries and good shopping. Took public bus.
