The ship was very clean and the staff were friendly and efficient. Only real complaint is that the pool water was freezing and you couldn't really swim in it. Also, there was no real kid play room.

The beach excursion was nice. The water was too rough to get in but it was a relaxing day. The beach is rocky so you have to wear shoes.

The jeep tour was a waste of money. If you have to sit in the back, you could not see. Also, the sites they took us to were not very nice.

Santorini, Greece

Santorini is a nice stop with all the traditional looking houses and churches. It was very hot.

This was by far the most beautiful stop. Our excursion spent too much time on traveling by boat when we could have gotten to the same stop via a bus. But the area was nice and I would go back there again.
