End of Cruise

Well its come to the end of the cruise.  Its been 24 days of exploring Italy, Greece, Croatia, Turkey and Montenegro not to mention the 4 days in Spain prior to departure.

I was worried that 24 days would be too much on a boat.  Boy was I wrong, with so much to do on shore and only 4 ‘sea’ days we were really grateful for the extra 3half days at sea. We didn’t have time for any on ship activities, except trivia during happy hour, so could easily do a longer trip,

This format has meant we have unpacked once, slept in the same very comfy bed every night, have 3 meals a day without having to go anywhere and wake up every morning in a new town, city or country.

Some of the days have been long with 7 and 8 hour tours but we feel we have packed in as much as we wanted to and still feel very relaxed.

Having 1 day in each port has given us a snapshot of the town or country and we definitely know what areas we do and don’t want to visit again.

The food has been of an incredibly high standard, we have eaten in the dining room rather than the buffet but no matter what venue the variety has been incredible.

The staff are super efficient and friendly, nothing is too much trouble.  All except the Internet Manager who is a complete and utter bitch.  But one thorn is manageable.

Well definitely have the cruising bug.  Now its just a question of which destination is next.
