Was amazing except for...

Overall the trip was amazing. Beautiful sites and informative tours. The staff was amazing, cheerful and helpful. The food was not what I was expecting for the level service on the ship. It was either not palatable or it was not chewable. The dishes were always dirty with food on the cutlery or lipstick or food stuck to the cups/mugs. The time spent off the ship was touring, shopping and eating. The time on the ship was spent enjoying the scenery, enjoying the entertainment or exploring t [... read more]he various floors.

Agean Splendour great--for the most part

The cruise ship, slightly outdated, was fine for the most part. The staff were very nice, the cabin very clean. The whole tour ran like a well-oiled machine-highly organized and very well done. The food, however, was about on par with a one star resort in Cuba. It wasn't good; in fact we dreaded being on the ship for meals. We ate off the ship as much as we could. Really disappointing. Meals off the ship were fantastic. The itinerary was great. Our tour guide, Nadine, was awesome. Islands, stu [... read more]nning. President Hotel in Athens very clean and nice accommodations, staff very helpful. All in all a fantastic trip, nice pace. Just the food was a supreme let-down, awful.

A great way to see a lot in a short time

We really enjoyed the trip but were disappointed that our hotel (President Hotel) was so far away from the key sites like the Plaka and Syntagma Square. It was challenging to find places to eat other then the local square (PAnormou). The cruise staff were very good. Main problem we encountered was that my daughter became very ill on the final night - we suspect food poisoning - and required a wheelchair to disembark as she was still unwell and too weak to walk. We lost 1 day of our tri [... read more]p because she was too sick to do anything but sleep. Also disembarking at first stop was poorly organized.

Aegean Splendor

Trip was good but be prepared for the additional cost for excursions from the boat. Boat wa tired not remodelled for 30 years. Crew was great food not so much. Hotel at end of boat cruise was clean again needed to be updated and the food was poor and the all inclusive drinks were not always available and you could not order a beer or mixed drink at meal time. Kinetta Beach Resort. Excursion trips were good.
