Good Points

Cabins and interior of dinning hall etc decorated very well.
Linen and towels clean.
Sufficient seating during meal times.
Arrival at islands were on time and docking speedily done.
Daily island info and map very handy.
Security 'clock out system' excellent when disembarking etc.


Bad Points

Some Waiters were not obliging.
Prepaid meals were tasteless, far too little to choose from and boringly repetitive.
Alcohol onboard seemed extremely expensive and variety is not wide enough for me.
The soap in the shower dispenser ran out 3 days later.
Shower curtains do not contain splashing water and bathroom floors flood every time - doors should be implemented instead.
Excursions on offer seem expensive. Its far cheaper to zip around islands on rented scooters and find objects and places yourself.


General Comments

I will recommend the use of Easycruise Life to people of all ages and we generally had a good time on board. Very casual on board and fits perfect with the holiday mood - no frills and fancies required. It is however not worth spending the money to eat on board and we recommend eating on the islands instead as the food choices on land are so vast and excellent. We paid 68 euro each to go on a 'learn how to fish traditionally' excursion and were taken to ruins, an old Greek house and a non working windmill. Later we were taken to a beach on an old boat where fish was being barbecued and the time spent there was way too little amid the gusting wind which made it unpleasant.
If you are fussy, don't do this cruise, but I would do it again though slightly differently - one learns from ones mistakes.
Its not bad but Easycruise can make big changes and should in order to keep people from putting out bad reports and you loosing customers to other cruise liners. Easycruise Life is on to a good thing - just perfect it and you will be a brilliant cruise line.

    I agree with this review because...I have been on this cruise and the men waiters were useless. The excursions off the ship were a rip off and so expensive and not made out to be what we were told they would be. The food was boring.
    Overall the cruise was good but a lot could be done to improve it.
