Think I might do the Delphi tour.
I know what you mean by chilled out, Both Chris and I agree that our trip last year on Calypso was the most relaxing cruise we have done. We saw loads of Jellyfish around Volos too last year. Great big things  Were there big crowds of smokers on the deck?

Not big crowds, about 30 or so "regulars" in the sunshine bar or under the stairs outside the bistro. Most people still went to the entertainment, nipped outside between times! At lifeboat drill the captain still warned everyone not to smoke in bed!
According to some other passengers who had been on the celebration, and one of the officers we were chatting to one day, Thomson's are going to make Celebration totally smoke free next year as a trial kate |

Such a pity as Celebration is my next in line to Calypso as favourite. But ban will make it a no no for me.

Put it like this can't wait, seems long overdue. The thought of a week being taken care of, no washing up, no cleaning, no cooking, just watching the sea pass by. Bliss

And the Aegean wonders goes to Rhodes (never been there and really want to go) and the other end of Crete, Agios NiKolas. We have been there a few years ago on a trip from Heraklion port, but since reading "The Island" I would love to have a look at Spinalonga. Better start saving the pennies for a nice back to back!
