Review summary

Overall our group had a fantastic experience visiting the ports, dining on the ship, and relaxing by the pool. The staff were attentive and friendly and the ports of call we're just beautiful. We were disappointed that we could not visit Mykonos due to high winds, but we appreciated that our safety was put first. Plus, it gave us an extra day in athens we're we got to explore and do some shopping. Overall, the cruise experience was an amazing experience with plenty to do on and off the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The dining room was fantastic - the food was great. We also have a great waitress named Victoria; she made our families experience very memorable. With her kind attitude and consideration, we requested to sit in Victoria's section every night for the whole week.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I enjoyed sitting by the pool a few times. We didn't get to experience too much of the activities as we were out enjoying the ports.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the 70's night in the club and checked out one of the stage shows called spectacular. The liars game was also very entertaining!

Children's Programs

We didn't have any children travelling with us.

Cabin / Stateroom

Size and comfort of the room was ideal. Perfect for what I needed it for. I would have given 5/5 if I had a ocean view like my parents did.

Understand about the Mykonos disappointment, but an extra day in Athens ? Toss-up as to which I would prefer more.
