Review summary

Beautiful ship, but lack of entertainment and shows. Would suit 20-40 year olds! Not much going on for the older generation.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkment very straight forward. Some people skipped the que and nothing done about it!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was lovely in main dining room. Food in windjammer ok. Tried the burgers, but not fully cooked in the middle!

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Most of the activities are for the younger generation. Not much for the 50+

Entertainment

2 out of 5
The book and effectors good. Rookie band excellent. Others not worth a mention.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room Stewart, Agus was excellent. The bar staff in Schooners Joanna, Edward and MuMu excellent, you won't be without a drink. Main dining room, Angie and Bryan excellent. Always put a smile on our face. All of the above went out of their way to make sure we were happy customers.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
People were not washing their hands before entering the windjammer, even though a member of crew was there to remind them, but they just ignored them. But they should have been refused entry! It should be made compulsory to wash hands or else!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was spotless. 5⭐+

Ship tip

Be prepared for very little activities.

Ports of call

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

3 out of 5
5 minutes walk into the main shopping area. Great deals to be got and don't be afraid to haggle, big time.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

3 out of 5
Went to see the Acropolis independently. €20 for the hoho bus.

Souda (Chania), Crete

3 out of 5
Nice little town.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
We were told to stay in our state room until our number would be called out for disembarking. But never heard any number being called out. They really should practice what they preach!!!

Great itinerary. Appreciate your feedback. Good to know that this is for a younger crowd.

We were on the same cruise and first time we did not like it. Just too much people. Everything was loud and bussy.

Welcome to European cruises... MANY do not follow the rules. Its a much different experience when the ships are in the USA.
