Review summary

Cruise director Dan was fabulous! He was so funny- I’d go on a cruise just to be entertained by him. Duke was funny also. The entire staff on ship was very friendly and helpful. Hard workers. Food was great and plentiful. Trip was more than we had hoped for. The ship was large enough to accommodate everyone and there was plentiful staff to help all the guests.

Our room steward, Elmer, was excellent. Cherry Sugatan, barmaid, was so sweet and attentive. Our nightly waiters , Ronaldo Muldong and Michael Destreza, were more than excellent! They were so attentive and made our dining experience so fun.

Elmer kept our cabin clean and stocked with fresh towels. The couch is showing it’s age. The layout was good.

Ship tip

I heard some ships have different colored carpet for port and aft which makes it easier to navigate.

Ports of call

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
We went early and toured Athens on our own. Parthenon and Plaka were great.

Santorini, Greece

4 out of 5
3 ships were there so way too crowded to really enjoy it. The line for the cable car back was ridiculous! Very unorganized lines and over an hour wait. Did the winery, Ori and Santorini excursion. The winery was not worth the visit.

Kotor, Montenegro

5 out of 5
Interesting city. No excursion.

Messina, Sicily

2 out of 5
Messina was not pretty or very interesting. You’d need to go further into the country to explore. Didn’t do excursion.

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
We could use more time here. Did the Alfalmi coast excursion which was beautiful.

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
Very fun visit. Sagrada Familia and La Ramblas were wonderful. We didn’t do excursion.

Gibraltar (U.K.)

5 out of 5
Very interesting. Did a cab excursion and he was very good.

Axe en Provence on your own Tour.
