4 day cruises in Greece
Has anyone been on the 4 day cruise in Greece on R.O. I am going with my mom and sister next April and would appreciate any feedback, or other suggestions for other cruise lines. [email protected]

THe ships are older ships that do the 4 day cruise- one was built in 1966 and the other in 1976--do NOT expect Caribbean cruise ship standards in both looks or food--GO STRICTLY for itinerary. If you can do a 7 day cruise,I think you'd like it better because you get full days in each of the ports---whereas on ROYAL OLYMPIC you get 2 ports per day--which leaves you a pm visit to both Mykonos and Santorini---

<BR>Dear Arlene, <BR> <BR>My opinion would not to sail the OLD Greek ships. The comfort factor is limited and I doubt they are up to U.S. safety standards. <BR> <BR>Better choice is Royal Olympic Voyager or Explorer. Another good choice is First European Mistral or Vision. All good choices but you will have to give up your short itinerary. <BR> <BR>It seems strange to me why you would want a short itinerary since when you are in the area why not see as much as possible. Of course if finances are a factor possibly you should wait until you have the funds for the longer cruise. <BR> <BR>Happy planning, <BR> <BR>Paul

<BR>Hi Arlene, <BR> <BR>Do not consider the RO Explorer. It was to be delivered in April then May then June and now Sept. <BR> <BR>According to the builder the ship is ready. RO states it is not. <BR> <BR>I have a gut feeling RO does not have the funds to launch. <BR> <BR>Paul
