The price was right for this type of cruise and it was historical which we enjoy. The price of the tours was expensive but still enjoyable and doable. The tour guides were very well informed and pleasant. The food in the dining room was soso. The head chef is Italian and the Mediterranean meal was terrible. The price of water in the dining room was $5.00 Canadian which I feel should come in jugs and one should be able to help oneself for free. Serving water in a plastic bottle is not environmentally friendly. The shows were entertaining. Sometimes the actors didn't seem to be totally into their roles, but otherwise they were very well done. The male lead singer needs new pants - they are very distracting. The cabins were very well kept and the service there was excellent. We did not travel with children. We would go again.
Our experience in ports of call were great. Tour guides were organized and informative. Bussing was excellent. Sarande is a third world city and needs a bit of development but it was interesting to see the lives they have. Their English is very good.
We walked around and enjoyed the life there. Beautiful sea shore, windmills and shop owners. Touristy town.
