The actual cruise was really good and fun. But as a disabled person I booked the cruise confirming with the cruise people if it was wheelchair accessible which they said it was but it wasn't. I have mobility issues and climbing stairs. There was stairs to go down and also a step to go up which was very scary due to me being unbalanced as it is. All the staff were very helpful and we made it on. Coming off I was so nervous nearly fell down but we did it with all the help of everyone and my husband. I would advise please get some secure stairs or a ramp which connects to the ship. It was a very scary experience me getting on and off. The cruise was amazing food was lovely. Lovely ambience overall had a great time after over coming the fear of getting on :)

Really impressive spectacle has withstood centuries and terrmoti, wonderful view of Istanbul...Italy has made the history of the Mediterranean and monuments scattered everywhere testify to that (in this monument e.g. we have Genoa)...what I wonder is what happened to us, how did we get like this?

Great experience and the cruise is very good, the service is 7.5 out of 10, the food is good, the staff are helpful, the only downside is that they don't give you the option to choose a table when booking, but rather they decide it their way, and when you arrive on the cruise and you don't like the table, they don't give you options but rather show you the vacant tables that they have booked
