Didn't need two days in Athens, would've rather had two days elsewhere. Children got a bug or food poisoning after a trip to Mykonos which ruined the holiday.

Food and Dining

Main dining room was good. The cannaletti was ok, same as main dining so not worth the extra cost Didn't like the lido, it was like a canteen, you could never get a seat or clean table.

Next time you decide to book a cruise look at itinerary first. No one pressured you to take overnight cruise in Athens. From your review you didn't do any excursions but decided to do things without any planning
