However, the boat had two levels, and he spent his time mostly on the 1st level. We saw him approximately 7-8 minutes and he only mentioned two features on the Bosphorus. Snacks consisted of Dorito's and nuts. 2 glasses of wine, were really, a small rock glass filled about 1/4-way, 2x's. Other traveler's that were on the 2nd deck also stated their disappointment in the cruise. Not what was advertised.”

I've been on several cruises across Europe and this one was the most enjoyable.”
