We joined the cruise after 12 days of traveling through Turkey and Spain for a family reunion. Decided on this cruise due to the ports and costs, much cheaper than any other cruise line for much longer cruise. We were 2 families celebrating college graduation and 21st birthdays!! Let the party begin!!

Felt we received excellent value for our cruise. Being as the cruise was so port intensive did not have time to enjoy the ship. Loved our balcony room and was surprised how roomy it was. Room steward did excellent job and loved coming back at nite to a clean room. Laundry room great, bring soap. Laundry special of $15 great as I could fit at least 2 loads in the bag. DS loved the gym and went to it every day. I never did. But I enjoyed the Serenity deck and deck 5 for peace and quiet with my kindle and a cocktail.

Enjoyed our waiter George in the Northern Lights dining room. Food was fine, we were so tired after touring all day, we would have enjoyed anything. Thought all food was too salty!! Did not try any speciality restaurants. We all loved the Tandoori Grill and wish it was open longer, especially when coming back after tours. Usually had room service breakfast as up early for tours. Ate once for sit down breakfast on sea day and was a lovely way to start the day, wish they served breakfast later on sea days. Read more
