Additional details
We sailed NCL once before and loved the itinerary. We like the itinerary scheduled for this cruise but found it disappointing on several stops. 1st, the stop to Kotor was canceled but the excuse given was that the departure from Venice was delayed 2hrs. I take issue with the cancelation since we made a two hour stop at a port just beyond Kotor and arrived there about 6 hours before we were expected to arrive in Kotor. Clearly, NCL avoided the port fees in Kotor but made no effort to mitigate the loss to the passengers.
2nd, the stop in Santorini was a bust. We arrived along with 5 other cruise ships and it took hours to get to the cable car. We and several dozen other passengers punted and went back to the ship to the bar.
3rd, the stops in Corfu and Mikonos barely gave you enough time to grab a meal and head back to the ship. We knew this before hand and chose not to take an excursion because of the rush.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Very clean and enough room for two. The balcony was excellent!
Port Reviews
Venice
Explored on our own and stay three nights on the grand canal. Love it!
Santorini
Beautiful island but not with 6 ships in port at the same time. The streets, shops, resturants and the cable car were so packed we should have stayed on the ship. Think Disney world opening with only one ticket both.
Mykonos
Loved this stop. We chose not to take an excursion for two reasons. They were overpriced and restricted you to a set itenerary. WE walked the water front and love it.
