Review summary

It was a great experience. Although the ship was small and dated, we were in a different port almost every day. It was a fantastic way to see Greece!

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Long lines in a crowded unairconditioned tent.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was very good in the dining room and specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The pool wasn’t full of water until several days into the cruise. Kids enjoyed rock climbing.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The country music show was tacky. How many times can the ‘performers’ hump the floor…or each other….

Children's Programs

Children didn’t participate in this

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff was wonderful…very polite and helpful

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

It’s just an old ship…dark, dingy carpets. Smells vaguely like mold.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It was okay…again, just an old ship. Safe didn’t work, toilets didn’t flush right, etc

Ship tip

Bring your own water!
