Was worried about not choosing our cabin myself. But it worked out great with a unobstructed balcony on deck 7

Ship tip

Get a 6 pm dining reservation so you can have the same waiter every night. I thought it would affect our port stays but they adjusted the dinner times with the port schedule.

Ports of call

Ravenna, Italy

Would not rent a car again. Island is too big to visit other locations on the island and get back to the ship in time.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
It’s Athens, what else can I say.

Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5
