Review summary

Venice to Greece 07/10/17 This ship is smaller than what we are used to sailing on. Because of the limited space the entertainment on offer is limited and tends to become repetitive. This ship is good for a five day cruise but seven days is just too long. The staff are courteous and helpful at all times and the food was pretty good. The ship visited Venice, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Katakolon, Athens and Split and we found this to be a good itinerary. But now the bad part and it was very bad. On the last morning of the cruise the boat was unable to dock because of foggy conditions. This was not the fault of the cruise line and they performed well in getting the ship docked at the first available opportunity. But by this time the ship was six hours behind schedule and a vast number of people had missed their flights and were stranded. Disembarkation was then chaotic as people scrambled to meet their flights and the disembarkation process failed to meet their needs. On trying to leave the ship disembarkation was halted on a number of occasions leading to further chaos. If we followed the poor advice of staff we would have missed our flight with no prospect of getting another. We made it to our flight with minutes to spare. STRESSFUL STRESSFUL DAY.
