Review summary

While I have been on many cruises in my youth, this was the first time for my husband and adult children. They were apprehensive if they would enjoy it, worrying that it would be cheesy or cheap, but everyone loved the experience. The food and hospitality were top notch. We loved the unique port options as well. A great experience we hope to do again!

Many different options available.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Band was pretty good. It would be better to have more dj nights to make the music selection more current. And limit the line dancing.

Limassol, Cyprus

The ship should provide a shuttle to old town or more information on how the busses arrive at port. Otherwise, you feel that you are stuck with taxis as the only option.

Santorini, Greece

Mykonos, Greece

Thanks for sharing! How was Alanya? That's a new port destination and I was wondering if it is worth it
