We chose the Mediterranean Odyssey because we had never travelled to the Med area and wanted to experience this part of the world. Our hope was to explore a variety of locations and get an overview idea of where we might want to travel for more concentrated exploration of history, culture and people. This cruise did give us a wonderful opportunity to visit 5 countries and see amazing beauty and history. We only did the included tours and they presented us with a good overall experience of each port of call without feeling over tired from doing multiple tours a day. The ship is beautiful, well maintained, with many wonderful quiet places to relax. The thermal spa is tremendous and surprisingly not crowded (especially during the times of the extra tours). Having access to washer and dryer makes it delightfully easy to pack less clothes. Eating onboard is another delightful experience. We loved The Restaurant for breakfast and dinner. The Restaurant is a relaxed top shelf service. The World Cafe is great for quick breakfast on mornings with an early tour departure..OR..it offers a wide variety of food choices for breakfast, lunch, or dinner if you prefer a self service atmosphere. Everything on board was above expectations, but the staff was so amazing, engaging, and made us feel like royalty..always smiling, always greeting you by name, and going out of their way to greet you. It was impressive to see the organization of funneling 900 people on and off the boat with no lines or backup. This was a cruise full of 5+ star memories.

Cabin Review

Veranda Stateroom

The space was comfortable for sitting, relaxing, or enjoying the balcony. We asked for a bed topper which came immediately and made our comfort exceptional. The head (bathroom) is well planned with storage and shelving and works well for one person at a time. The bath products are amazing…no need to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, body lotion. The cabin is cleaned and reset twice a day…more than any hotel will offer..again amazing service from stewards!
