Disliked: Two of the six life boats were old with damaged GRP hulls (the outer resin layer broken and the under-lying fibreglass matting was visible) - not very reassuring !

Old fashioned cabins, difficult to adjust air conditioning due to variance in control instructions, very small shower cubicle though water pressure was good. Most of the people on board were of the 70-90 age group. Very limited sun deck area that was devoid of inlet and a/c outlet motor noise. Lots of people went down with a nasty chesty virus on this cruise.

Liked: Food, small ship size and able to make friends, ship can get nearer to the shore than massive ships, good stability in rough seas, all the ships staff were really friendly offering excellent service. Cruise designed for adults would have liked to see more of a mixed age group though! Good excursions and excellent guides especially Butrint and we had an archaeologist guide in Pompeii and Herculaneum.
