Overall the cruise was fine and the itinerary is what attracted us to take this ship. Since the time spent at the ports were limited, may want to go back and visit. Especially Jerusalem since there is so much more to see.

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin comfortable for two people. Plenty of storage space and hangers. The balcony seemed like it was recently painted and had paint stains all over the floor and was very dusty. A few of the bathrooms on our side of the ship were clogged including ours. It was fixed quickly, though smell lingered.
Visited Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Excursion was rushed, spent too much time at Bethlehem and not enough time in the Holy City. Only saw wailing wall and Holy Sepulcher.
Took public bus into the city center from port. Lots to see and do. Many shops for sourvenir shopping and restaurants to eat. Public bus back to port was too crowed and chaotic as everyone was trying to get on to return to ship.
Beautiful place to visit. Felt rushed by tour and not enough time to experience Santorini. The cable car back to ship was a nightmare. Too crowded and waited over an hour to get.
