Review summary

On the only occasion that any of my family needed medical services, we were very curtly told to come back later; the doctor was out until 5pm. No one examined her. My wife fell at about 3:30pm, and all we could do was put ice (from our room) onto her knee and ankle, to try to keep down the swelling. She limped around for the next 4 days. I am a physician, and if I offered that kind of service, we'd have gone hungry a long time ago.

Rhodes, Greece

A little hot, but the history and shopping was great. The food at a street-side restaurant was one of ourbest meals off the ship.

Messina, Sicily

3 out of 5
Etna was a little let-down, probably our worse choice of shore excursions.

Pros: Transfers on and off ship were the best we've seen. Food was very good.

Cons: Needs more variey of shows. Art gallery needs twice as much space. We missed having a kitchen demo (behind the scenes in the galley)
