Overall, the cruise was nice. We were disappointed that 2 of the original ports were removed due to the war in Ukraine. Izmir is a waste, they should not have this port. They should had just provided a day at sea which you need to take a break.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
For the most part, the food was good.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
No time for any activities as we were at a different port everyday, except for Istanbul we were there over night. Since there are no sea days there is no time to really enjoy things on the ship.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The show ELEMENTS was AMAZING! I only had time to attend another show and the music was good but, the singer you could not understand the words he was singing.
Children's Programs
No children traveling with me.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Service was great. From the room stewards to the waiters and all of the ship personnel.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
This ship the JADE is a bit older and it was last Refurbished 6 years ago. It could use some updating.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The mattress was very comfortable. It was clean, though the sofa covering could use some updating. Nice large room and bathroom.
Did not take an excursion, walked around the town. Had lunch in a nice restaurant near the windmills by the water. Thought it was extremely windy and a bit cold.
Had been here previously, beautiful port. Draw back off this port is the cable car. IF there is another ship there, the wait time for the cable car was 2 hours. We went ahead and took a boat to Oia for $30 Euros each and went to discover the other side of the island, then went to Fira via Taxi, $10 EU per person and walked around. Once the other cruise ship left, we were able to go down the cable car without any wait. If your cruise is there till about 4 pm, you will have a problem returning to the ship as the cable car line is huge. We were luck our cruise stayed till 9:30 PM.
