Visited several significant historical sites that are on the UNESCO list. All of the countries and ports visited contributed to the enjoyment value that the cruise ship visits.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Didn't care for the main dining room experience due to the lack of transparency. Received a free complimentary pass for one meal. Found while ordering items on the menu there were many items that were not included in the complementary pass. The items not included in the complementary invitation did not have prices. My interpretation of this is that this is a money pit. designed to generate much revenue for the cruise line at the expense of the cruise guest. Didn't experience the specialty restaurant due to the unclear and deceptive discount packages offered by the cruise line. Instead dined in the ship's buffet which as well stocked with a variety of meals for most people to minimize disappointing cruise guest. The only downside to the buffet is over eating and gaining weight. Found myself skipping meals to mitigate potential weight gains.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Enjoyed and used the fitness center on a regular basis. Did not use the pool or sauna due to the amount of people in these areas.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The ship's stage shows were very enjoyable, in particular the magic show. Found that some of the other shows are more geared towards the older crowd.
Children's Programs
No not have children
Service and Staff

My room steward did an ongoing excellent job of keeping the room looking clean and organized. Kudos to her for being professional.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship is kept clean and tidy. While I do think the Connie is showing her age I enjoyed my stay non the less.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Actual room number is 2015. Clean, comfortable and adequate for the occasion.
Ship tip
Working class people beware of dining in the main dining area due to the missing prices for items on the menu
The people of Athens are nice given that the city is crowded and very developed. Many narrow streets easy to get lost. Took e-bike tour had a great time, The tour guide Dimitra is excellent, professional and really knows the city. Great tour that exposes person to the changing of the guards, the olympic arena, acropolis and several of the other sites in Athens
Liked the port, Took the donkey ride up the mountain and the cable car down the mountain to avoid spending much time standing in line. Quick and easy. Very scenic views once on top of the mountain.
