Itinerary: Europe

I went twice on this ship. The first time to Rhodes and the second to Egypt. The ship is not too big. But it has large public areas. We had a wonderful trip the ship is very quiet and you cant feel if it was moving. Most people that travels with the ship are English, Europeans, Cypriots and Greeks. The ship doesn't smells any petrol and the cabins are well equipped from the smallest one to the most luxury suite that has a TV, sitting room, bathroom, jacuzzi, fridge, hairdryer, telephone etc. Generally the ship is very nice!

Public areas are very large for the ship's size. There are two lounges with live music and amazing shows!Excellent lighting and very nice the way that music sounds. Huge variety of drinks in the well organised bars!The duty free shop isn't very big but also not too small!You can find everything from technology products, sweets , alcohol , souvenirs , perfumes,cds etc. There is a beauty parlor. There is a small gym, sauna and a hair dressing room. There is also a pool a nice one with sea water big enough for the ship's size next to the pool and at the lowest deck there is a very big sunbathing area! and a huge jacuzzi both of them outdoor situated on two decks on the one deck there is also a cafeteria. The ship also contains a nice cinema with really huge screen. Public toilets are near the one lounge...Casino is behind the piano bar. There are 2 or 3 roulette tables I think and lots of slot machines don't worry! Big enough in order not to be very crowded!General the public areas are very large and not limited at all and you will never find them crowded! There is also a winter garden...and an outdoor disco!

The food was excellent!HUGE variety of food and sweets in formal restaurants with sea view really tasty Greek-Cypriot cuisine with many wines and soft drinks! There is one restaurant and a snack bar outdoor actually barbecue! You can enter the restaurants really hungry but you can leave them with lots of kilos on your body!The service was absolutely great!The crew with a warm smile on their lips!and really cool and nice people!

My cabin had a tv, a fridge,a bathroom and a telephone , safety box and a gauge luggage space and radio. Most cabins are outside. Very clean and nice decorated. Other cabins are not too small but the mini suites and the normal suites have tv , fridge, radio, jacuzzi, sitting room, radio, safety box, big luggage space and of course huge portrait windows! Also the airconditioning is excellent and you can find towels on your beds with amazing shapes like ducks!

The entertainment was fabulous! Very nice programme! cabaret shows, pop music Greek and English! Dances with amazing cast beautiful girls! Also bouzouki nights are available on the ship and of course bingo! Entertainment can't be described with words! You have to live it and enjoy it!

During your cruise you can have a body , face treatment...They know better!Visit the gym the sauna the hairdressing! Have a dive on the pool or enjoy a refreshing drink with your friends in the jacuzzi! You can go jogging on the jogging track! You can relax on the lounges. Sing at the piano bar! have coffee at the cafe-restaurant (or eat a snack) you can go shopping or try you luck at the casino. Dont miss bingo you can win money! Or if you are boring to do all those activities just relax at the winter garden!

Everybody can travel with the ship! Most Cypriots, Greeks and Europeans prefers to travel with the ship. I dint have the chance to made friends on the ship because there were too many people on the ship!
