5 out of 5 stars

Complete joy to travel on the Wind Surf. The low number of passengers makes this one a totally comfortable environment. The layout of the boat makes for easy access to any part of the trip with great views from anywhere. The staff were beyond friendly and courteous.

Pros: size of boat and number of possible passengers

Cons: nothing

The itinerary was of great interest to us. We found the destinations and tours most interesting. The cuisine was outstanding and the presence of the James Beard Foundation chefs added glamour and inventiveness. The ship itself was comfortable and the atmosphere most relaxed and enjoyable. The Sports Deck provided an opportunity to swim in the Mediterranean Sea. We can't wait to sail with Windstar again!

Pros: Excellent ship; itinerary; cuisine; fun atmosphere; activities;

Cons: Wish there were a few more days when the sports deck would be open for use; would enjoy an evening of entertainment off the ship

From the crew and their sincere politeness and kindness to the ease of the embarkation, excursions and disembarkation, I have absolutely no complaints. One reason you should consider the smaller boutique experience of WindStar is we were in port in Montenegro and so was NCL & Princess and the lines for them to board the tenders to return were so very long. For us on Windstar, no lines, no waiting, just walked right past and onto the ship immediately. So very very nice

Pros: No lines, no waiting, just perfect

Cons: The sails did not work

Everything on this cruise was great. However if you are looking for Las Vegas shows and entertainment this is not for you. There is a good 4 piece band and a duo for entertainment. For us that was perfect after the "monster" as they call them, cruise ships with 3000 - 4500 people on board. The staff called us by name after two days, you could go to the bridge almost any time to talk to the captain and other ship officers. Never more than a 5 minute wait to get off the ship by tender. The food in the regular dining room was perhaps the best in the 15 other cruises I've taken on other lines.

Pros: Small, Clean, Super Friendly staff, never crowded, great food, small port of calls

Cons: None
