After cruising on larger ships with prestigious companies we were a little concerned before we travelled . . . . How wrong can someone be! This cruse was fantastic in every way - The food, Service & friendliness was OUTSTANDING! Yes - the ship is old, however, quite quirky and there are a lot of 'old' touches that makes this ship special. The excursions were so cheap in comparison to other cruise lines and worth every penny. Everything was so organised from the minute we landed at Marmaris, to getting our cabin, and going on excursions. I really can't fault it in anyway. We were lucky enough to be invited to the captains table on formal night and my husband hadn't taken appropriate clothing - no problem - reception allowed him to borrow from a selection of jackets and ties (at no cost!). Absolutely nothing was too much trouble.

Most people on board had the 'All inclusive' package, something we don't do as my husband drinks Premium bottled beer (not on all inclusive) and I drink 'nice' wine. I bought the wine package for £65 for 5 bottles of very nice wine, we drank many cocktails (not on all inclusive) and drank quite a lot (ok - a lot!) and our bill was cheaper than the package! Therefore, drinks really are 'Pub' prices and not the usual cruise costs that add Tax and gratuities.

The cabins have been updated and were better than I imagined. Yes - we did have a problem on the first day with the toilet overflowing (My fault I think) and was sorted and cleared up within minutes. Later in the week our shower got blocked and again, sorted and cleaned within minutes. These things will naturally happen on a full ship when everyone is using their showers at the same time!
