What can you say about Venice, anyone who is not enchanted by it is brain dead 


Venice

Charming Island we would love to go back to and spend more time 


Mykonos

Lengthy waits for tenders and cable car spoiled what could have been a nice visit, so crowded we only stayed 40 minutes before having to wait in line again to go back 


Santorini

First port on our tour,and well worth it.Lovely place steeped in history 


Split

Beautiful city, no sign of the damage suffered in recent conflict. Only criticism was that after a long walk up to the cable car station we were told that they would not accept euros, so unless you wanted lumbered with some of the local currency that was no good for the rest of the cruise you were stuffed 


Dubrovnik

Pricey excursion, but with a ery witty and well informed guide our visit to the Parthenon was a highlight of the cruise. 


Athens (Piraeus)

Well laid out, good sized shower.Some noise from shipboard machinery at times

who switched from one language to another so quickly it was almost impossible to follow plus other low budget acts)This combined with a Cruise Director(I use the phrase loosely)who was obviously employed for his multi language skill rather than anything else, whose English was so heavily accented it was at times impossible to understand 
THE UGLY- hordes of unruly, bad mannered Italian and Spanish kids(and adults)whose sole aim seems to be heard above everyone else(why do they have to shout all the time insted of talking normally)Every announcement on the ship made in almost every major European language was more than a little irritating, but I realise these things have to be done.5)-We seldom use the main pool area on ships,but on the Gem it was absolute bedlam any time we passed by, with loud music of one kind or another blasting out all day.
