Review summary

Nice new ship is everything was in good working order. We don't cruise for the food and this didn't change our minds. We eat at local restaurants whenever possible. The crew were incredibly friendly and helpful. The change in our ports of call due to the current issues in Israel were completely necessary but too much time in Malta. Mykonos was a virtual ghost town. Not really worth the stop.

Mykonos is a fabulous port. Guessing locals were taking their vacations.
