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.

Make reservations for dinner early. The line for no reservations for dining each night was long. Go to the 5th floor observation deck in front when entering ports. Amazing views

Giovanni's is a great meal, especially if you are able to get a discount, questionable if you pay full price.

The Greek Isles cruise is not for guests with mobility issues. Many of the port excursions require walking long distances on uneven surfaces and climbing stairs. Also, this part of Europe as never gotten the word that cigarettes can kill you, smoking is everywhere.

Make sure you have a good book to read. be prepared to pay for anything extra you want. Room service upcharge, special restaurants upcharge, tour of ship $$$up charge. The t.v. in the room felt like a running commercial for the cruise line. that was a bit of a turnoff.

Watch out for extra added costs not really up front and MUCH more info on NEEDED connectors and transfers and very much needed debarking excursions and definitely the excursions need a little more free time and less push hard for time. You get an excursion for needed area info and direction not additional stress on a vacation. WATCH those excursions you present.

Learn where everything is so you don't get lost. Pay attention to the lounge chairs, they can stick out into the walkway. One of our group fell because there was traffic and she didn't see the lounge chair leg.

There is no Sorrento's pizza, but don't fret. Promenade Cafe has pizza better than on most ships! Definitely see an ice skating show. Even if you're a senior kid, go down the water slide and play a round of golf.

The tables on the Promenade fill up quickly and there isn't alot of room when everyone tries to gather for the parades and special shows held in this area.

Look to make sure the ship is not fully booked otherwise you'll be waiting in lines for everything. Also, there were too many kids.

Arrive early for entertainment. Learn locations on ship as soon as possible. If you are a pool person, get to pool early for a spot and chair.
