We have been twice for the Ephesus dinner on Windstar. The vegetarian option is very poor, it consists of a plate of steamed vegetable. I complained after the first time and was asked on the second occasion what I would like but was again served the plain steamed vegetables. Turkey has amazing vegetarian food so they should be able to offer some much better.

We called at Canakkale last October on Legend. The ship docked at Kepez and there was was shuttle to downtown near the Trojan horse.

We have just discovered that this cruise does not depart Istanbul Cruise Terminal as shown on the itinerary. Istanbul Cruise Terminal is now known as Galataport and various cruise port schedules show Star Legend departing there 23 Sept and 2 October, but on checking vesselfinder.com this morning the ship is in fact docked at TDI Sarayburnu Port -Hoca Paşa, 8, Sarayburnu, Kennedy Cd., 34112 Fatih/İstanbul. Anybody making their own transfer arragements should be aware as the ports are 3 km apart across the Bosphorus. This has been confirmed by Windstar. It would have been helpful if they had given this information earlier.
