Out dated. Bathroom smelled no matter how much the attendant cleaned.

Ports of call

Messina, Sicily

3 out of 5
Mount Etna. I could live without seeing the town of Taromina. Not much to do or see there except really overpriced shops.

Souda (Chania), Crete

1 out of 5
Might as well stay on the ship than do any of the excursions, unless you really want to see a Monestary.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

5 out of 5
Temple of Artemis. Turkish Bazars - good deals but you have to haggle.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
Temple of Athena and the Acropolis. Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sunion.

Pros: The staff were excellent. The Ship was huge and there were a lot of things to do on board. The excurisions were well planned and excellently executed. The ship's photographers were always on site and on the excurisions to capute beautiful pictures.

Cons: Too many children on board running around without their parents. Lunch in the Windjammer was always packed, never enough seats to eat. I had to eat standing up at a counter for 2 lunches. Food on board was typical resort/cruise food. Not much variety, often lacking in taste.
