Review summary

Best holiday I've been on to date. Absolutely amazing!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
From arriving at the cruise port to embarking, the whole process took around 15 minutes. We did arrive before most people so things may have been a bit more hectic later on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The Oceanview Cafe serves such good quality food, with an excellent range catering for people that have other dietary requirements, it's hard to beat. Main Dining Room is fantastic. Considering the number of meals served every night, the presentation, quality of ingredients and choice is brilliant. We only dined in 1 specialty restaurant - The Lawn Club and Grill - this by far was my favourite and would book this time and time again. Amazing food, great service and a fantastic wine selection.

Ship tip

Book, do not hesitate!

Ports of call

Messina, Sicily

3 out of 5
Unless you have an excursion booked there's not that much you can do in Messina itself. Nice for a walk round but you couldn't spend all day there

Valletta, Malta

5 out of 5
Loved Valletta! This was one of my favourite ports as it's easy to navigate your way around. The hop on hop off bus is well worth it as there are 2 routes you can take round the island, but it's worth going to Republic Square and strolling through all the streets with the bars and restaurants on either side. Beautiful place.

Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5
Stunning location with little windy streets that you can wander round for hours! It's pretty flat so for those that are not as mobile, it's ideal to walk round. Plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants to choose from if you do fancy a bit of a rest. With this being a tender it may be more difficult for those that need assistance getting on/off the ship.

Rhodes, Greece

5 out of 5
Another one of my favourite ports. This is by far the easiest place to get around as the old town is no more than 10 minutes walk from the port. Such a beautiful place with plenty of shops, bars, restaurants, historical places to visit - quite simply beautiful.

Santorini, Greece

5 out of 5
For those with mobility issues getting off here would be very difficult. There are 2 choices to get up to the top of the caldera, cable car (€6 each) or donkey. The latter option is cruel due to the winding steep steps they are forced to climb, and they all look very sad and unloved. Views from the top are amazing and it's no surprise why this is on people's bucket list to visit.

Naples, Italy

4 out of 5
Very impressed with Naples as it's full of culture, heritage and history. Lost count of how many churches there are and navigating all of the old streets can keep you occupied for hours! It's often said that Naples is dirty, but it's no dirtier than any other Italian city such as Rome or Venice.
