Although my cruise got off to a really bad start, we did enjoy the Ports and activities at each. I might add that cruising has changed a lot and not for the better. In my opinion, you take some cruises for the ship and others for the destinations. This cruise was definitely for the destinations. If I were to judge the cruise line solely by the experience on this ship, (boarding, accommodations, food) then I would not cruise again with Norwegian Cruise Liine.
Embarkation
1 out of 5
Borderline inhumane - 5 hours outdoor wait in the heat. Is there a minus?

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin 8533 was small but had everything needed. Room steward keep it clean, very satisfied.
I loved, loved, loved this port - so beautiful. Although it was hot, there was always a breeze. Places to eat were beautiful, right by the sea and shopping was great!
Did an excursion which included a buffet at a Greek restaurant. The dancing and breaking of plates was an original experience for me which I really enjoyed. Santorini is beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking.
Thanks for the review. We are taking this cruise last year. I am also curious what time you checked in. I wonder if it's better to get there later or earlier. You rated the food pretty bad. Where they any good places or things to eat?
