Review summary

It was ok, too many ports and some of the workers weren’t so nice. The tendering made everything more stressful and I missed my excursion . I felt that the shows weren’t enough and not enough different food.

Wow you chose the itinerary and if you researched the ship , you would find 14 or15 restaurants. Can’t believe you were bored on a Mediterranean cruise.

Just a suggestion - if you don’t like the itinerary you booked then you don’t actually have to get off at every port, you can stay on the ship? Also there are about 15 restaurants on this ship so not sure how many you need! Agree the tenders in Santorini can be a nightmare if you’re not booked on an excursion through the cruise line, never book a 3rd party excursion there that depends on you being off the ship and up to Fira quickly. Hope you enjoy future cruises better!
