This was a well organised cruise, with one small issue. The boat is immaculate. The captain was visible and friendly with both passengers and crew. We were lucky with the weather and calm seas, since there were no missed stops, which seems to be a problem with Nautica in other reviews. In fact they made special efforts to get us to Delos despite high winds and waves.
Administration was efficient. Embarkation and disembarkation were smooth and other admin matters were accurate and timely.
The stateroom (their word) was normal size and spotless. Service was excellent and whatever we wanted was done immediately.
Dining room service was also excellent, but some of the main course meat and fish dishes were tough and chewy. For this reason, the steak restaurant, the Polo Grill, wasn't really worth a visit, despite excellent service. At other times the main dishes were fine; you had to choose carefully and be lucky! Desserts and pastries were excellent. Afternoon tea with white gloves and a string quartet was a treat; and the buffet breakfast was good.
Poolside service was very good and there were enough seats even on the Day at Sea.
Entertainment was good and innovative, and other on board activities were sufficient.

I wrote the review - I should have said the food was 3 stars, 2 is a bit hard.
