Nice ship and itinerary. Enjoyed the smaller size of the ship in comparrison to the mega ships of today. Liked the days at sea first and last with the ports in between. This gave you the first and last day to relax and enjoy the ship. Enjoyed the ports of call with totally different things to do in each port. Staff was very friendly.
We booked our own private excursion and even got to see the changing of the guard. Interesting uniforms and steps.
Ship excursion to Olympia and Magna Grecia. Lunch was wonderful at Magna Grecia.
Don't miss Ephesus!!!

Make sure to sign up for dinner with an officer. It's a random drawing. We were fortunate enough to be picked. We had dinner with the Environmental Officer. Of course you get excellent service and free wine as well as great company!

Love the varied Itinerary. This was our first trip to Greece and Turkey. My husband was skeptical of Turkey but ended up loving it. We loved, loved Ephesus and were so impressed with Kusadashi as a port. The overnight in Istanbul allows for a more relaxed experience. Previously we took a Mediterranean cruise that visited 5 ports in 7 days. Very exhausting and up early everyday for the excursions as most of the ports were an hour from the places you wanted to be. This was much more relaxing as the ports were convenient to shopping and the sights. Entertainment on NCL ships have proven to be very good and the food is also noteworthy. We dine in the regular dining rooms, not the upcharge dining. All the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Truly a wonderful vacation.
