Started with a great flight on Emirates airline. Great Business class seats. Best I have experienced. Spend two days touring Dubai and Abi Dubai. Board the Regency Navigator ship and started our cruise. We had some armed guards on board as we passes Somalia and entered the Red Sea.
Took a two tours at Lexor. One was the temples at Karnac. The include a tour of the valley of Kings. Got to enter King Tutus tomb.
The sea days were needed to recharge my batteries. Very tired with long bus trips over to Lexor.
Israel sites were very crowded. Not much organization at the sites. Push your way through.
Crete was okay. Been there before, so say the main site before.
Could not get into Sorento as the sea was to choppy to load the tenders. Dock at Naples instead, so we just took a walking tour.
Ended in Rome. Spent 5 days there enjoying the sites and food.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship was small and easy to get around. They were constantly cleaning. We did have a problem with brown water which was corrected by changing the filter. The ship will soon go in for a redo and was told they will be redoing the plumbing to clear up the rust issue. L
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Loved the suite. Plenty of room with big closets. Didn’t really need the tub. Like to see them do away with the tub and have a bigger shower.
When to Jerusalem, the wailing wall and Bethlehem. We were there the day after Easter and it was Very, Very crowded. Had to push ones way through in places.
When to Masada and the Dead Sea. Loved Masada. The Dead Sea was okay. Stuck my feet in. The shore had many salt pebbles and had to walk on with bare feet.
