Entertainment. With the exception of one guest Pianist/ Vocalist the entertainment in the Theatre lacked imagination & imo was not the quality I expected on a "Luxury" Cruise. This was disappointing.
Food & Drink. The speciality dining options were excellent.
This was a cruise taking in Xmas but this was not made much of.
The drink options were plentiful & quality.
Excursions. Mostly enjoyable. One , the group was too big for the guide to keep track of everyone.
Staff. Exceptional. Service 10/10. in Cabins & Bars & Restaurants.
Having spoken to guests onboard who were repeat cruisers on this ship they agreed that this trip was somewhat lack lustre & they had much better experiences on previous trips. Seems we were unlucky but we will not be returning to find out.
Cabin. Our initial Cabin had temp. repairs to the ceiling which became evident at night creaking & groaning. (Wooden wedges between the wall & ceiling) It was clearly an ongoing problem & the suite should not have been allocated. Maintenance said the ceiling needed taking down to resolve the issue.
We did move to another Suite luckily.
Spa. Beautiful facility. Towels plentiful, but Spa-Swimming pool out of use for repairs.
Sun Loungers. Very comfortable. Lots of towels.

Great cruise but transfers by Iglu were a disappointment, would of dropped us at airport about 4 or 5 hours before check in would have opened, had to make my own arrangements for alternative with the ship direct (thank goodness they were ready to help), Iglu denied any credit/refund for not using their inappriate timed transfer. Won't be using Iglu any more.

Overall we were very happy with the cruise and the pre and post cruise stays. The room in Athens was rather strangely decorted with plain wallpaper and then floor to ceiling drawings on the walls that looked as though had been done by young children. . . . very odd. The public areas were clean and the service was good and there was a varied buffet breakfast.
The suite and all areas of the ship are very spacious and luxurious.
The storage space in the concierge suite is amazing and our balcony was wider than that of the suite adjacent to us which was a bonus. There is so much hanging and draw space and the bathroom also had an exceptional amount of storage. The ship was full but never felt crowded. The champagne on ice in the suite on arrival is a very nice touch! Also a varity of fruit every day.
The tours were rather disappointing and whilst the guides were very knowedgeable they offered little to no warning of steps,uneven ground and poor lighting conditions to clients especially those with walking difficulties or problems with their sight. The written information that is provided on the tours could be improved. Only one of our guides used a mic and gave us earpieces and one other guide used a mic. This made listening to them quite difficult in crowds.
We visited the theatre 5 times on a 12 day voyage. The shows were only 45 minutes long. . . the best being the " Adele" tribute.
Our cabin attendants were very helpful and offered an excellent service as did the bar and restaurant crew.
We were very happy with the service that Iglu provided in the booking of this cruise and all the transfers to and from airport to hotels and port either end of the cruise.

DAY 3
15 Sep 2027
Time at Port: from 8 AM to 5 PM
Home to one of four cruise ports in Edinburgh, Newhaven is a northern district of the Scottish capital roughly two miles from the city centre. Here, as soon as you arrive in Edinburgh, you’ll find the iconic Newhaven Lighthouse – originally constructed in 1883, it marks the mouth of the River Ouse – and Starbank Park – a stunning community garden with gorgeous views of the North Sea. However, beyond Newhaven, Edinburgh is home to an abundance of breathtaking sights and incredible experiences; it has so much more to offer. The entire city is a picture, with Edinburgh Old Town dominated by medieval architecture and charming narrow streets, while Edinburgh New Town features a blend of Georgian and Neoclassical architecture; a city full of incredible landmarks, Edinburgh is a charming destination unlike any other. The ever-iconic Edinburgh Castle and Palace of Holyroodhouse are always worth seeing when you visit, as is the Royal Mile running through the heart of the city and connecting the two, but there are so many must-see spots in this remarkable city. From atop Calton Hill – which is home to the National Monument, the Nelson Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument and the City Observatory (among other landmarks) – and Arthur’s Seat – an ancient extinct volcano in Holyrood Park – you’ll have the chance to relish in sweeping panoramic views of the city and beyond. The Scott Monument, St. Giles’ Cathedral, and Royal Botanic Gardens are all excellent options when it comes to sightseeing too. When you combine all of this with the incredible food, charming cafes, lively pubs, and other experiences available across the capital, there really is an abundance of things to enjoy when you’re in Edinburgh.
Things to do in Newhaven (For Edinburgh):
Edinburgh Castle
Sitting atop Castle Rock – an area that has been inhabited by humans since the Iron Age – Edinburgh Castle, in some form, has overlooked the Edinburgh area since the 11th century. Starting out as a royal residence for Malcolm III, the castle eventually became a military garrison from circa 1633, and has since become an important part of Scotland’s national heritage. It played an active role in the Wars of Scottish Independence throughout the 14th century, the siege to free James III of Scotland in 1482, and the Lang Siege from 1571 to 1573 – while also being an important site during the Jacobite rising of 1745, among other Scottish conflicts. Now a tourist attraction with historical displays, several shops and cafes, and some sensational views of the city, a visit to Edinburgh Castle is not to be missed.
Calton Hill
This hill in central Edinburgh is home to a number of important landmarks and monuments, making it a fantastic place to visit when you’re in Edinburgh. Standing over 150 ft high over the Scottish capital, you’ll find the following monuments on this UNESCO World Heritage Site: the National Monument, the Nelson Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument, the old Royal High School, the Robert Burns Monument, the Political Martyrs’ Monument, and the City Observatory. With some of these monuments as old as the 18th century, there’s a lot to learn about Edinburgh and Scotland’s history just from this one hilltop – that, and some stunning views of the city surrounding you.
The Scott Monument
A stunning Victorian Gothic monument in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens, an area where you can see Edinburgh Castle atop Castle Rock rising in the distance, the Scott Monument honours Scottish novelist, poet, and historian Sir Walter Scott – who authored Rob Roy (1817), Waverley (1818), and Ivanhoe (1819), among others. At over 200 ft tall, it’s the second-tallest monument to an author in the world after the Jose Marti Monument in Havana, Cuba. While breathtaking to see from street level, you can also climb up this intricate tower monument to enjoy panoramic views of Edinburgh from viewing platforms. Inaugurated in 1846, the monument itself is adorned with visages of Scottish writers, poets, and other notable figures.

Stirling Castle
Largely an all-day affair when docking at Greenock, a trip to Stirling Castle is well-worth considering if you’re interested in Scottish history. Among the largest, most important castles in the country, Stirling Castle – located in Stirling, which is just over an hour’s drive from Greenock – sits on an intrusive crag with steep cliffs on three sides; positioned overlooking the last downstream crossing of the River Forth (until the 1890s), this fortification was in a strategic location and a strong defensive position.
