This is a great cruise for history lovers. Every port has some very interesting venues to see and learn something new. Since I went in December, this was not a typical go to the sun type vacation, but the history and culture more than made up for the low temperatures. Still managed to come back with a tan.

The standard balcony was a little smaller than we were use to, but it was a nice room.
Great place. Historical sites and landmarks are great. Be prepared for some high pressure sales tactics if you show any interest in the hand made rugs. If you stand your ground, you might get a reasonably good deal. The rug market is not for the timid or unprepared.
The volcano was excellent. Bundle up and be prepared for high winds. Check the weather forecast before taking the cable car to the top...if the wind is too strong, they shut it down.
The trip to Granada was excellent. The castle was great and our guide at the castle complex was excellent. If you go in winter, wear something warm. It was really cold and most of the tour was outside. The castle was not heated either.
