Everything was seamless and professional.  I’ve never experienced a cruise before that was so easy and relaxed.  I really appreciated no lines; No lines to get on the ship, disembark at ports, at dinner, or at the buffet.   And the never-ending glass of wine with dinner was wonderful.  My cousin and I met the nicest people, and we became friends with a couple who had a suite, so we had several cocktail parties in their suite stateroom, very nicely prepared by their butler.
The size of the ship was perfect!  And it really restored my love of cruises, as it was similar to the more refined cruise atmosphere I used to love in the 80′s. The port experiences was outstanding!!!  Who knew Malta was such a great place!  We thoroughly enjoyed ALL our ports of call in Santorini, Malta, Sicily and our 2 days in Sorrento.  It most cases we were the first ship in port each day, and we were always the last one to leave.  The port times really does make for a true immersion experience. I felt sorry for all the other cruise lines guests that would hurry their shopping or relaxing to make it back to their ships by 5pm.  But to our benefit it really paid off, and we stayed in the towns late and really had the place to ourselves.  It was great!
