Cruise Round Up

Friday. We arrived back in Athens shattered from the cruise. Most of the excursions we took required us to be up at ungodly hours. Even disembarkation needed a 5.15am wake up call!

We didn't (and couldn't) participate in the night life on board because of the early starts. However we both really enjoyed ourselves.

There was a small casino but opening times were odd so only managed to contribute about 30 Euros!

I took out an unlimited drinks package, which meant I had to drink a lot to get my moneys worth! Chris had a non alcoholic package but we managed to switch drinks several times.

The only downside really was the food. Just about every meal we had was COLD (even though it was supposed to be hot) but for the price we paid we ain't complaining.

The cabin was small but serviceable and had everything we needed. Cabin staff and tour director and drink waiters were superb, although some of the food waiters needed a good kick up the bum sometimes.

We never swam or sun baked, using any spare time we had to catch up on badly needed sleep!

A nice touch was a couple of times each day our cabin was cleaned and the staff made our towels into animal shapes, such as swans, dogs, rabbits a bull, love hearts etc. A picture is included below.

I enjoyed this part of our holiday with Santorini being the stand out for beauty and Ephesus (Turkey) for it's history.

Here's a couple of pics taken on the ship.
