Is there anyone who has been on the Olympic Countess recently? My sister and I are taking a 4 day Greek Island cruise on Aug 18th and have seen some nasty reviews, would like to hear your comments. Also if you have done the Greek cruise whether the ship excursions are worthwhile. Thanks, Barb
Anyone been on Olympic Countess?

Barb, sorry to hear of your misfortune. I took a cruise on the Olympic Countess (care of the worst tour company ever-Trafalgar). It was horrible. Dirty, boring, bad food, overpriced shore excursions. Awful, awful, awful.
I was on the Countess 2 years ago for the same 4 day Greek Island cruise...it's the kind of cruise where the highlights are the ports of call..the ship was quite old..quite basic...the cabins(at least my cabin) had no tv and piped in music..WHICH THEY ARBITRARILY shut off at 10 each night...the food was not horrible but not memorable but the entertainment (and I use that word generously) was quite pathetic. Never have I walked as many times on a so-called performance...Enjoy the ports of call but don't expect to have a great cruise experience!
