Review summary
On the positive side, we enjoyed in particular the folks in Greece. we found them to be kind, gentle and full of life. To speak with 3 generations of shop keepers who proudly respect their ancestors who made a living in the small but well kept market was good for the soul. We hired taxis to carry us into the mountain villages and we welcomed with a variety of tasty and fresh foods. Sarah's GPS recorded 6 - 7 miles exploring the off season ports and surrounding points of interest. We made provisions to tuck our cash and ID's out of reach and avoided "Night Life" and areas of concern, zero safety problems.
As a frequent cruiser, Costa was a poor choice, it became apparent they were cutting amenities and adding charges across the board. Best to pick another line. Charges for coffee, tea, water, insufficient buses for promised free shuttle service. Noisy intercom commercials, in summary, the crew did their best, under poor administrative policies.
