Overall, our cruise experience was very good. The food options on ship could be improved. Some of the shore excursions need to have more accurate descriptions.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The entire staff was excellent. There were several dining options but it seems like the menu from one night to the next is very similar.
Some of the dishes were a miss for me. They should work on some of their recipes to get it closer to the actual flavors.
My wife and I did not like that the Windjammer staff did not insist on everyone to wash their hands before dining at the buffet. We saw several people walking in through the middle past the staff who were singing about washing hands.

There were many onboard activities and shows We learned to play pickle ball which was fun.

Cabin / Stateroom

The size, location, cleanliness, and amenities were excellent.
Athens was very commercialized. Our shore excursion was disappointment. It was supposed to include photo opportunities of historical sites. Instead we saw them from a distance and needed great zoom capabilities for our cameras. We also only had a few seconds to take photos while our bus moved through the traffic. The highlight of our tour was a 2 hour talking tour at a small zoo which did not have many animals.
Santorini was beautiful. We had an excursion to a winery and brewery that was supposed to include an explanation on the wine making and brewing process. Instead, they gave us samples of each wine and beer with a little writing about it.
