Black Sea Cruise Dardenelles/Cruise Day 2008

The Dardenelles, formerly known as the Hellespont, is a narrow strait in NW Turkey connecting the Agean Sea to the Sea of Marmosa. Like the Bosporus, the Dardenelles Strait separates Europe from Asia and connects the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.
Since we were both going ashore in Israel, we had to stand in line for a “face to face” interview with Israeli immigration officials.
Because of multiple sailings with Holland America, we were upgraded to a HUGE stateroom with a living room. bedroom and large bathroom.
Every night when we return from dinner, the room steward has turned down the covers and placed the next day’s schedule on our bed, a piece of chocolate on our pillow and ingeniously fashioned towel replicas of manta ray, crab and elephant shapes.
