Review summary

I had an amazing time on this cruise. I would do it again. The cruise staff was friendly and they did their jobs well. The food was delicious in the main dining hall and the extra restaurants. The activities added to our fun time. I would recommend this cruise highly to anyone.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was very crowded and slow in the terminal. Once we registered and got on the ship, it was better. Our luggage was in the room before we got there.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Every part of the ship was very clean and kept in great condition. We ate at 3 of the restaurants. We loved them all and had great food and service.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We liked doing the trivia everyday when we were available. We also played shuffleboard, played Deal or No Deal, sang karaoke, and did a fun scavenger hunt. We attended the shows every night and loved them all.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All of the shows performers were very entertaining. We saw every show and were very pleased with the performers.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was always friendly and helpful. They were very genuine and wanted us to have a good time. We especially liked our cabin person Rick. He made our trip very enjoyable helping us whenever we needed help. We also spent a great deal of time with Margena (spelling). She was on the activities staff. She did an excellent job and made sure we were having a fun time on the cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It was very easy getting around the ship. We spent most of our time on decks 6 and 7. The outside deck, front desk and coffee shop were located here. All areas were always very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We didn't spend much time in the cabin. It was clean all the time. The balcony was amazing. We would sit out every morning and evening. We left the door open and curtain closed so that we could fall asleep to the sound of the ocean.

Ship tip

There is a hair dryer, soap and shampoo. There is under bed storage. Bring half the clothes and a bar of Zote soap to save space. I washed my clothes and let them dry on the line in the shower or out on the balcony. If you eat at the restaurants, book them the first day. They fill up fast.

Ports of call

Venice, Italy

5 out of 5
Loved this city. Want to go back and live there.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

4 out of 5
Very pretty city, but overcrowded and hot.

Kotor, Montenegro

5 out of 5
We toured this city very early when it was cool and less people were there. We thought it was a beautiful old city.

Katakolon (Olympia), Greece

5 out of 5
I loved seeing all of the ruins where the original olympics took place.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

3 out of 5
This is where Athens is on the tour. I will never go there again. It was too overcrowded. There was garbage all of the streets. The Acropolis was incredibly crowed and hot. Glad I went, but never again. The Plaka was nice to walk around and had a great meal there.

Split, Croatia

5 out of 5
Very beautiful city. Went on a river boat ride to a restaurant up in the hills. It very very peaceful and a beautiful countryside.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Leaving the ship was fast with no problems.
