Very confused as we did this same cruise I believe in May and this review is nothing like our experience. The ship and staff was extremely helpful and nice when we were on it. We did several Greek ports.

I agree this review makes no sense. Someone else on the same cruise gave a good detailed review of the ship and the ports, including the ones in Greece. And if you’re going to give such a negative review at least give some details that might be useful to people.

Sailed on this ship in the Greek isles a couple of weeks before you, and the whole experience was fantastic. Your review makes no sense. Did they skip ports? Did the ports change? Reviews like this just confuse people, rather than actually helping anyone.
