Review summary

Overall it was good. Had a few complaints that we had to make to reception. Suite was gorgeous. Very clean ship. Would have preferred not to have gone to Bodrum. A port was cancelled due to bad weather bit we went to Katakolo instead which was quiet but lovely. Food was good onboard. Reception staff quite rude and sharp. Friendly cleaners and bar staff. Excursions not value for money. Tour guide not very attentive. Wouldn’t return to Greece as wasn’t as nice as expected.

Ports of call

Corfu, Greece

2 out of 5
Scruffy port and surrounding area. Not the best introduction to Greece or the cruise!

Santorini, Greece

3 out of 5
Disappointing. Expected so much from this island. Absolutely gorgeous in the village but everywhere else half built and scruffy. Tour guide said this was the banks fault as they frequently withdraw funds half way through building? Oia village beautiful though. Plus very expensive. 20 euros for an orange juice! Beware!

Rhodes, Greece

5 out of 5
Loved the old town near the port. It’s gorgeous. Felt safe there unlike Bodrum! Shopping was lovely. Stray Cats frequently lay outside shop doorways and obviously cared for. Loved Rhodes.

Bodrum, Turkey

1 out of 5
Awful. We were women travelling together. Shopping was not nice especially in the market. Constantly pulled over to buy things, often physically. Busy busy place in the centre. Too busy for us. Driving manic which isn’t surprising!

Chania, Crete

3 out of 5

Zakynthos, Greece Did not visit port

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Fine. Airport queues were four, which was a bit much but airport is being enlarged so should improve. Staff there were rude and not very friendly.
