Take the cruise you will have a great time. We were on the Viking Aton about a week after the terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas. We also did a post cruise extension to Jordan which I also highly recommend. One of the best trips the wife and I have ever done. Never felt unsafe and the people were very friendly and nice. The sites you will see are simply amazing. Again go and enjoy yourself.

What’s the disaster? We sailed almost a month ago and everything was fantastic. If you are referencing the new web site then I have really no experience with that.

Well if they are having financial problems that certainly was not evident on the cruise we just finished earlier this month. Everything was first class. No evidence at all of cutbacks and such. The ship was full and everyone seemed very happy.

Was simply a mistake. No biggie.😀

Meteora is what you want to do in Volos. We hired a guide and a driver to take us to Meteora. After the tour we were taken back to Volos and had Tsipouro. Its a local drink much like Ouzo. Yes it packs a punch but they also bring lots of Tapas style foods. If you have a second drink they bring another round of food. Our guide told us that people come from all over to go to these places. Do not miss Meteora while in Volos.

Just back from the 10 day Spain intensive on the Onward. Will try and write a review later. I will say this the service, food, and the “Amazing Evening” in Seville, SP were outstanding. Have read that many cruise lines have cut back on services and perks. I did not get that impression at all as this was our third time in Azamara. Okay, so the main purpose of this thread is to warn all of you, no matter what cruise line you are on to watch out for the taxi bandits at the Port of Lisbon. If you google search taxi fares from the port to the airport you will find prices near 15 to 20 Euro. It’s a short drive. The cabbies charged my wife and I 35 euro and my friends behind me their cabbie charged them 40 euro. My third group of friends got an Uber and it was approximately 15 euro. Lesson learned in Lisbon pre arrange your ride to the airport and stay away from those taxi bandits.
