Cabin Review
Great balcony room - only 10% of cabins have one. Comfortable bedding, couch, desk and sitting area. Two room attendants. Temp-controlled A/C. Bathroom a little dated but clean and functional. Nice bath products..
Port Reviews
Crete (Heraklion)
Not much to experience at Knossos. Only two possible photo ops. Could have skipped it.
Kusadasi
Not to be missed. The ruins of an ancient city of 200,000 and part of Western civilization.
Athens (Piraeus)
The port of entry with some local shopping and restaurants.
Mykonos
Interesting, but not a must see.
Mykonos
Good, bit could have navigated the town independently.
Santorini
Oia village was amazing. Lots of money photo shots.
Milos
The moon beach and town of Plaka are both stunning and exceptional.
