Review summary

We were very disappointed that Corfu and the Corinth excursion was cancelled. We might not have taken the cruise if we would have know ahead of time. The food and service was good. They had umbrellas in the sunny areas, so people would put up an umbrella and block the sun. We suggest no umbrellas in the Sunny Areas around the pool. There were plenty of shady areas for people to sit and relax close to the pool. GET RID OF UMBRELLAS. Getting on and off the ship was excellent.

Cabin / Stateroom

We upgraded to a balcony cabin...13130. Ship's communication was not very good. As you see they think we are in room 13625

Beware that they may cancel excursions after you get onboard even though they know weeks in advance.
