More Rocky than the same Cruise on the same ship 13 months ago.... thought that repeat Guests should have had access to WIFI without having to pay..... that was disconcerting to me....& repeat Guests should have access to the Basic Beverage Package

I did not have a pleasant overall experience like I did on the same ship on the same Eastern Mediterranean Itinerary ( except for Turkey)..... Not as pleasant at all..... I was satisfied on some fronts.... but, expected to get at least the same if not better than last year.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece Did not visit port

Was not getting adequate sleep because of the discomfort of my bed .... so I had to bypass Athens to try to catch up on such extreme sleep deprivation..... What A Pity..... I didn't get to see the Ruins at all Too too sad & disappointing

The Taxi Drivers are involved in Scams..... 2 Drivers acted together to entrap our group of 5 into having to pay $60 Euros .....300 Euros & they had the rest of the Driver's totally under their Authority..... They all recognized that Tge Quoted Fare was way over the Normal Mark & they all backed away when we tried to negotiate a lower rate...... What A Scam..... we asked so many other tourists throughout the Course of the Day & all of them had paid 25-30 Euros...& in some Cases less ...... We were scammed.... Boldly & Fraudulently Scammed..... Rhodes will always have a horrible aftertaste for all 5 of us.... because of those 2 Con Men Drivers..... the Members of my team are still torn up about having been ripped off by that Group of Dishonest Rhodes Cab Drivers.... What A Shame!!! Celebrity Hierarchy should have them return 150. Euros out of the 300. Euros that they stole from Innocent Tourists.... they both drive Black MercedesBenz cars slightly newer than the rest of the Cab Fleet..... Crooked & Filthy Thieves!!
