Embarkation

Three check points to do the check-in(in Terminal one queue for passport and cabin card, one security, before ship cruise card check, on board picture and then queue in theater for another check in procedure 🤷🏽‍♀️) luckily not many people otherwise could have been long lines

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Nice size cabin, lots of storage in the drawers, bathroom on the tiny side with shower curtain, balcony furniture too big for the balcony. Everything was clean and well maintained, no noise heard from adjusting cabins

Ship tip

Just enjoy and relax, ship has lots to offer

Ports of call

Dubrovnik, Croatia

4 out of 5
Another tender port, very nice old city with wall to wall around it (entry fee applies) always nice to be here but so crowded in summer! Could not do much here because of bad weather until early afternoon

Zadar, Croatia

4 out of 5
Ships docks right in front of the old city and promenade. Lots to explore and see there. Many tourists and hot 🥵 weather was the downside

Pula, Croatia

4 out of 5
Tender Port, nice to walk around and explore, Amphitheater was impressive

Sibenik, Croatia

5 out of 5
Ship docks 10 minutes away by walking from old down. Lots of steps inside, nice and lovely to explore, also lots of cafes near the water

Kotor, Montenegro

4 out of 5
We had to tender because of another ship using the port. Nice old city within the walls, very crowded during the day. Cable car to see the fjord, speed boats to take you around. Great to explore by yourself

Opatija, Croatia

5 out of 5
Tender Port, very nice, clean and the Lungomare promenade was so nice to walk and enjoy the views

Souda (Chania), Crete

5 out of 5
Tender port, boats bring you right in the old city, nice to explore and walk around, lots of restaurants, shops and cafes. Nearby is the beach.

Corfu, Greece

5 out of 5
Ship docks at port, Azamara provides bus shuttle to city center. Nice old town, easy to explore. Island is also beautiful

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Good breakfast choices, cabin must be left by 8 am, shuttle bus only in port of Athens which made a slight queue when disembarking the ship.

Visited the Dalmatian Coast years ago on a Coach Trip (before we discovered cruising, when we visited Dubrovnik again). However you visit, I believe Croatia & Montenegro coast lines are a must for any to do lists.
