Review summary

It depends what you're looking for. The ship had a lot of cool stuff, especially if you're traveling with a family. But the food and entertainment were lacking unless you paid for upgrades. The stops were great, the excursions however took the group to a lot of tourist traps. But there is nothing like the view of the sun setting over the Mediterranean from a personal veranda, and the rooms were nice and always clean.

The Acropolis museum was cool to see, and shopping on the Plakka was fun.
Don't Miss: Acropolis

Messina, Sicily

Taromina was cute, but the greek theatre they went on and on about was definitely a tourist trap. Still, the Excursion to Taromina was a highlight of our trip just because it was fun to be in an adorable town, and we had a great lunch at a restaurant up on a cliff looking down at the water which was incredible.
Don't Miss: Taromina, definitely.

Iraklion (Heraklion), Crete

We spent the day on the beach and it was a highlight of our trip.
Don't Miss: The Beach :)

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

We didn't do an excursion and should have. The port city was not fun. We tried to walk around and shop but you were so mobbed and stalked by sales people that even two experienced travelers (and shoppers) were uncomfortable and ended up going back to the ship.

Pros: The Specialty Restaurants

Cons: Main Dining Options, Entertainment
