We loved the overall experience and signed up for another cruise while we were there. Can’t wait to go again! Your team was outstanding and made our first cruise ever a vacation we’ll talk about for the rest of our lives!

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We ate in the San Marco dining room each night. The food was good and the service was outstanding. We specifically requested the same table area nightly because of the great service from Christopher and Sudarsana.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We did use the spa, went to several of the entertainment offerings in the Theater area, trivia, the art gallery…. We loved the Sunset Bar - what a great place to hang out at the end of the day.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the entertainers - loved the nightly shows, but also enjoyed Magnifica, No Names, the solo guitarist
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The waiters, Christopher and Sudarsana, plus the wine staff in the San Marco dining room were beyond outstanding - Christopher was very kind and thoughtful around my wife’s dietary restrictions and made an outstanding effort to ensure she was cared for well. Marlon, the man who took care of our room, was extremely attentive to our needs, starting with reconfiguring our stateroom to 1 bed from the twin beds it was originally set up for and interacted with us well - he knew our names almost immediately - impressive! The bartenders at the Sunset Bar took great care of us. The shop personnel and the art gallery people in the Emporium were also outstanding - Daniel, Tackeel, Taylor, Marc and Paige were great.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
I liked the ship’s design - my way of remembering things was food in the back and party in the front. The common areas were very clean and I don’t remember any time wondering about any areas.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
We loved the layout of the cabin - enjoyed the balcony, used it several times in the morning - so peaceful! Thought that the shower curtain could have been a bit longer - had several times when we had water all over the floor because the curtain was too short. Marlon did an outstanding job at taking care of things for us and made the cabin look great. You could see dings in the walls and even though the cabin was clean and looked good, the room was starting to look a little tired. It also looked like there were some spots in the shower surround - thought maybe there was a rust spot forming.
Ship tip
Enjoy yourself - the staff will make your trip amazing!
It was exciting to see Olympia - amazing historical site. We did do an excursion with Shore Excursions Group. It’s one of the places that you should see once, but not need to go see again.
We did an excursion with Shore Excursions Group - an overview of Fira, Oia and a winery tour. Absolutely loved it - would highly recommend it to anyone and would highly recommend Santorini to anyone.
We did take an excursion with Celebrity - we got a late start and took a bus tour. The hot weather limited what we could see and there were a lot of people on the tour, more than one bus. We liked what we could see, but this would not be a site we would visit again.
We did another Shore Excursions Group tour - it was a great tour of the Acropolis. Loved seeing everything, but after seeing the buildings, we left because you really couldn’t get close to them or walk through them. I respect their decisions but it really limits what you can get from the experience.
We did a Celebrity tour - loved going to the Bohali and we enjoyed the place we got taken for lunch, but the weather conditions limited the tendering operation and we got a limited view due to time constraints.
