Probably the most beautiful port of all. Our excursion was canceled because of security and traffic surrounding the visit of the president to a mosque. However, we were still able to get around on the hop-on, hop-off tour bus.

It was a fantastic tour. A little Long .... The worse thing about here is we were told we couldn't take camera's ... Some people ignored the message on the tickets and took them anyway. Come to find out we could have taken our camera and so therefore, for us to have any pictures of Istanbul we had to buy the postcards & books the were selling instead of taking our own pictures.

This is an amazing city and was so close to the port. We did a tour of Istanbul that was excellent. The only advice I would have is to provide better signage in the port. It is so large and spread out that it is easy to get lost, especially trying to get back to the boat.

You advertise a Turkish Rug demonstration--what we get is a sampling of the old marketing ploy--"Get three nights free and all you have to do is set through a 90 minute sales presentation." Then the doors opened and 10 salesmen race to the person they judge to be the best sale prospect--and they don't want to take "no" for an answer. This practice was utilized in every "demonstration" that we experienced. As enjoyable as the trip was, this was NOT. We pay top dollar for a quality trip. I did not sign-up for this type of ploy. I did not get anything for free with the consideration of setting through a 90 minute presentation. This experience (which was heavily marketed and promoted by the cruise line) cheapened my cruise experience and my 30th anniversary trip of a life time. Relying on 'your' information of what these excursions were going to be was the single greatest mistake that I made on this cruise.

Blue Mosque, Spice market, Grand Bazaar, are all very unique. We did not see Topkapi palace, and we regret that.

Bosporus Ride is unforgettable! Excellent Tourguide. The Grand Bazar did not really impress me.
