My wife & I booked this Greek Islands cruise while we were holidaying in the u.k. We actually booked it online from Australia thru Iglu Cruises. It was a fly/cruise starting at Luton airport then to Limassol, Cyprus (4.5 hrs) where we joined the cruise ship for our 7 day Aegean Titans cruise. Cruise went to Heraklion Crete, Athens,Mykonos,Kusadasi & Rhodes.

The ship was old but comfortable & everything was well maintained. Food was good like all cruises & cabin was fine. Entertainment was as good as any other cruise line.Apart from the amazing destinations we visited the best part of the cruise was the fact that we did not have to pay for any gratuities or alcohol. All totally free!!!! Add to this the fantastic crew & the cheap price of the fly/cruise this was easily the best cruise I have ever taken & I have been on 6 cruises on 4 different cruise lines. Everything from airport to airport & on board ship was expertly arranged. It helps that Tui have their own airline.

One would wonder why other cruise lines do not offer free drinks & gratuities without having to pay a fortune for these. I think a mark up of over 700% on drinks for what you would pay locally is a disgrace. Why then do cruise lines charge so much for drinks? Easy - because they can. It only takes one cruise line to offer this sort of deal & customers would come swarming.Let's see if any of the greats take up the challenge without hiking cruise prices.
