I need to get to Greece now but I sure couldn’t do it in your pace 😀 Thanks for following along. Glad you enjoyed it. We like to treat things like it will be the only time we will ever do them. That’s why missing Scarlet night to sleep wasn’t that big of a deal to us since we’ve done that 2 times before. The ports were more important. I remember the first time we sailed from San Juan. Every place we went, we said we would probably never be back there. Since, we’ve been to Puerto Rico at least half a dozen times and to all the ports again besides Barbados but have an itinerary going there in February. I doubt we will go to Greece half a dozen times, but you never know where life will take you. Gotta do it big and go hard when you can. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In those regular sea terrace cabins, the bathroom is very small. Also, I wish with the late night food options, something other than breakfast was offered. Favorite thing would be sailing at 50%. VV, nor I have anything control over that, but a ship under capacity now, after the restart, is a special thing. No waiting! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you can go up to a higher cabin, food..I heard there was pizza ..no idea only breakfast.least favorite meal.I do not like eggs. Late night if hungry I want sushi or a sandwich. I am always full from day. I sail from Cannes at 9 and if needed pizza. the younger days when people went for breakfast I eat a Turkey club 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, we did 9 including 2 B2Bs and 2 with our kids. This year, so far, we’ve sailed 3 times, with 1 more scheduled as of now. We have 2 booked in 2024 (January & February). This year, I tried to focus on being more intentional with different cruise lines and/or different itineraries. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a small ship idea of small are between 500 and 1000 for me.I perfer closer to 1000. Windstar,Ritz Carlton,Silverseas,regent etc. before Azamara was sold many compared to oceaNia. Oceania food is better. now Azamara shore side worse but on board ok. I hated Regent..I am older than 50. Windstar..low key but had fun in ports. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmet0225 Posted June 19, 2023 #1174 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Megan - I also check in on the chat function of the Galveston cruise cameras. One guy just posted that he got back from his Greek isles cruise last week. He said he won’t go back, because Greece is not a clean country with a lot of litter and tagging. I didn’t see that from any of your pictures, and didn’t see you make any of those observations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the tagging thing is true. Lots of graffiti. DH even said they should “stop selling spray paint” in Athens because it was a lot. Didn’t really bother me, but it was everywhere. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
