We seemed to be in the main port area but not sure as this was the first time visit. Yes we took a taxi from Athens and also same company from cruise to Airport, it was a company I found on trip adviser and I gave them a good review as we used them 3 times but I cannot remember the name. We also did online checkin so didnt have to join the huge queue just gave them our details and showed them our printed at home bagtags , handed the cases over and walked onto the ship-so easy.

We had a slight delay for luggage to be delivered to cabin so had lunch and organised wifi etc.

Have a brilliant time

We were in cabin 1111 and yes most nights seemed to be festive but it didnt disturb us in the cabin, you could also book a cabin further down the corridor , I think we were the third cabin down so you could head closer to the back of the ship by a few cabins. We enjoyed being so close to the bar and the buffet for early morning tea and coffee. The excursions were very good and all in English sometimes with Spanish as well, the buss/ were comfortable and tours interesting, we did some days on our own and took 4 of the Pullmantur tours and I dont think they could have been improved on in any way. We are now saving up for the Norwegian Fjords, but as the flights are so expensive it will probably have to be 2020. Have a lovely time

No not all tables had only English speaking, the next table had kiwis USA and Croatian, the other Australians were on a table for two which is nice but cant help but think they missed out on a lot of fun

We have just been on Horizon around the Greek Islands, we are English living in Australia and 70years. There were quite a few English speakers,on our table of 10 all spoke English, we even found another Australian couple a lot of English and quite a few Americans. We had no expectations before the cruise but had a great time, everything was good-cabin/ advance purchase trips/spa/staff/food. Now like you we are also looking at the fjords next year or 2020.

Really enjoyed our Pullmantur cruise, our cabin was very comfortable and the steward worked hard. We had no idea there were so many young adults on board until the second evening sail away and boy was the pool deck crazy(which our cabin was on) however didnt bother us, we just took our drink back to our cabin and sat on the verandah-the noisy MC and music didnt bother us. Though I was a bit concerned at how many drinks they were consuming.

We went on 3 of Pullmantur excursions and every one was well organised and good value, great guides and transport. particularly liked the ports we visited-this was a much better itinerary than Royal Carribean.

The food was good and plentiful and we had interesting people on our table. Saw one show which was good , used the pool and a couple of bars.

We are now looking at another Pullmantur maybe next year in the Fjords

Definately recommend Pullmantur

looking forward to your post as we are on Horizon end of April(just after completing as a Volunteer at Commonwealth Games on Gold Coast Australia)

anybody on the Horizon April 23rd from Athens?

Ar last a thread but still no rollcall for Pullmantur.

Is anyone else on the 23rd April departure from Athens?:)

Yes please please-we need to be recognised as a fair sized group of passengers now. its so tiring searching to try to find anyone for Horizen April 20th so I end up reading everything to find any details I can

:p

Wish I could still be with you all, but had to cancel so there will be 2 less on the mix and mingle. Have to have chemo instead of cruise-will try for same cruise next year

thank you so much for the menu's do I find the additional charge on the website?

Hope you are all going to register for the mix and mingle we need more to sign

are there any menus for the 2 other restaurents you pay additional for?

thank you

I keep reading about COMPASS what is it please

I was a travel agent in UK and NZ hence why I "do"my own thing. and have travelled extensively around the world staying in great places at good value.

looking at costs there are some from 1500 to 3000 for a week, we don't need restaurant choices multi decks and bars or shows-happy to eat in dining room and drink wine on the deck as long as we have a decent shower and bed:

will carry on searching

thank you
