Review summary

We were very pleased with everything about the ship and it's crew. Their sincere desire to serve and friendly attitude made the cruise delightful. The couple of items I found not up to standard were immediately repaired when they were notified.

Ports of call

Istanbul, Turkey

5 out of 5
A wonderful port with many activities. Unfortunately, the weather (snowing) limited our touring - plus a marathon race blocked some of the roads and made travel difficult.

Santorini, Greece

3 out of 5
Very picturesque port, but disappointed in the town itself - way too commercialized.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
Athens is everything you've ever heard about it. A big city that is very clean and beautiful and with the historic sites entiwned throughout it.
Don't Miss: The Parthanon

Naples, Italy

3 out of 5
Very disappointed in the city of Naples - it was dirty with garbage all over it.
Don't Miss: The trip to Pompeii was outstanding
