I was onboard this amazing ship in august 2013; we visited some Greek Islands (Santorini, Corfù, Katakolon), the Greek capital, Athens, with the marvelous Pantheon and, then, Dubrovnik and finally the romantic Venice.
We arrived at Bari by car (from Naples) the embarkation day, using a private parking. Then, we waited for 1 hour in the lounge room to embark. the embarkation was quite quick; the staff very friendly. The ship has arrived on time in every port, I cannot tell anything about excursion since we didn't make any; we preferred to do by ourselves. But we took the shuttle bus in Athens to reach the center, it was finally a good idea and not so expensive (we were very careful about the expenses since we are five - 2adults and 3 children). the activities were well explained on the daily program; we received a lot of information in cabin (maybe too much, sometimes I was not able to read everything).
On the ship we enjoyed a real luxury, the staff was very polite and the entertainment team was excellent! Very good food, exclusive shows and cabins very cleaned! We had a housekeeping staff very careful; the cabins was cleaned twice a day, but, if I requested a further cleansing, they were available and very kind.
a beautiful island, but be careful to the cable car is often out of order and you have to go up and down by your feet or using the donkeys!!
