Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5
A must visit port for overall beauty.
Thumbs Up

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

4 out of 5
The Athens Acropolis is a must see. However, it was very hot the day we were there.
Thumbs Up

Rhodes, Greece

5 out of 5
Amazingly well preserved medieval city, that can be explored on one's own.
Thumbs Up

Santorini, Greece

4 out of 5
A beautiful area and the volcanic history is very apparent. However, the cable car system can in no way keep up with the large number of cruise ship customers.
Thumbs Up

Souda (Chania), Crete

3 out of 5
Nothing spectacular, but the city market was interesting.
Thumbs Up

Valletta, Malta

5 out of 5
Another city with amazing history. We particularly enjoyed a harbor tour in a water taxi.
Thumbs Up

Messina, Sicily

4 out of 5
Be sure not to miss the clock tower with life size automatons.
Thumbs Up

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
Did not see much of the city of Naples, but the Amalfi Coast is a worthwhile drive and Pompeii a must see.
Thumbs Up

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation was held up by unseasonably heavy rains, but this is no refection upon the Norwegian Cruise ship staff. In fact, they were well prepared for the situation.

Wonderful Greek Cruise
Great cruise with amazing crew members and staff, but not so great cruise port in Civitavecchia...
