Everything vastly surpassed my expectations but I suspect I will have felt differently had the ship been full. Service was outstanding as was the predominantly Greek food. Some refurbishment of the vessel is required most notably of the aft decking and the Night Club.
Louis are going to great lengths to re-position themselves as THE Greek cruise line (albeit with Cypriot roots) and I wish them every success with their Celestyal re-branding! From what I have seen, they are doing the right things!

CO sailed on two shakedown cruises with Louis/Celestyal shore staff and then undertook a charter before starting commercial service on 8 June. When you saw her in Piraeus on 1 June, that was her last call there for the foreseeable future as she is either based out of Lavrion or Izmir for the rest of the summer season.
I sailed on the MV Explorer during her time with Semester at Sea. I am surprised by seeing your pictures as to how much remains exactly the same as it was before becoming the Odyssey. Especially seeing the world maps on the wall in each room!
Thank you again, glad to see she has a new home in the Med!
