We chose the cruise as we had cruised on the Star before in Asia, which was fab but also the destinations looked great with Greece, Croatia and Montenegro. This was our first Med cruise however we have been on several cruises before this in other parts of the world.

First of all the destinations were excellent. Can't fault any location. A bit difficult with logistics in Venice getting to the port but ok there are ways and means if you are mobile enough.

Tragically the time allowed on each destination amounted to between 2 and 3 hours only. The main reason for this was tendering. You are not communicated any of this information until you read the daily magazine after an evening out on the ship.

Cabin and service was ok. Just ok compared to other previous cruises.

Port Reviews

Corfu

Can't fault the place. Just needed more time ashore. Lovely little streets with busy shops bars and restaurants. Had time for a quick dip in the sea.

Santorini

Very nice place but don't walk up from the port. Very dangerous with donkey mess and donkeys in abundance. You have to queue for over an hour for the cable car but do it. I walked up and saw a lady with a big gash in her leg. Not sure from a donkey or a fall. The town itself very nice but not enough time ashore.

Argostoli (Kefalonia)

Thank god for no tender. We spent a couple of hours at the beach. Fantastic. The only chill day of this cruise. Would definitely go back.
