Room steward was great, helped me several times. I dropped my ring between the bed and the fold out sofa and a guy came right away and was able to find it for me!

I have to have a balcony on a cruise. It's big enough and with the weather being great was able to keep the door open quite a bit.

Ship tip

Don't feel like you have to do an excursion in every port.

The excursions need to have a more detailed itinerary. The guides aren't realistic about the walking/hiking/elevation change and time spent at the sites.

Ashdod, Israel

Too much driving in the bus. The guide was not good, she didn't listen to the group about what we wanted.

Santorini, Greece

The excursion did not give us any time at each stop. It was out of the bus hurry, hurry, hurry. No time for doing anything on your own. I would not recommend an excursion at this port and just be on your own.
