DAY 1
Going on a cruise isn’t like any other trip. It is a much different experience, full of colorful images, moments on board the ship and small excursions to each and every destination along the course. And if you’re thinking something like, “You’re more like a girl up-in-the-air type”, I’ll stop you right there. Because I decided to hop on a cruise ship, experience the trip and get it right back to you.
Our schedule goes like this; Piraeus-Mykonos-Kusadasi-Patmos-Rhodes-Iraklio-Santorini-Piraeus. 6 wonderful destinations in just 4 days, during the first week of May – and guess what – having the best weather possible, along with the best mood! I’ll post you my daily schedule, every day, all activities and destinations included. This way, you’ll follow me on my cruise, almost in real time, living this cruise experience through my eyes as If you were there.
Afterwards, we enjoyed our first coffee on the deck and around 12:00 I took my first trip to the restaurant. Tell me about a full stomach!
Salads, fillets, creme soups, pastichio, potatoew, fresh pasta and a large variety of sweets and freshly cut fruits. Coffees, teas, fresh juices and I felt like everything was "dancing" around me. And then, I decided to celebrate my Cruise experience with a delicious and travelicious burger. Yeap, that's me.
No regrets.
We began with Greek cuisine lesson; tzatziki and sayanaki, and an origami lesson followed. Greek dances came after (okay, not my type but I watched it) and finally, Latin dances and a cocktail show from the ship’s bartenders.

It's Cocktail Time!
We wandered around Chora, the Windmills and little Venice and we continued up until 22:00 when – let me confess my sin – I devoured lobster cream soup and chocolate crepes at the ship’s restaurant.
Who said you can’t mix these two? Rumor has it that the best mix & match happens on board!
Edward and Andre made the most delicious chocolate crepes ever!
