Traveling with your parents is always something special, all the more so if they're not used to premium cabins and you can make them discover it. Their reaction adds to the fun and the memories and also puts things into perspective. Well done.
Thanks JohnRain - they really enjoyed it! They've already signed up to the Exec Club since the trip and got their TPs and Avios!

I remember there was a touristy restaurant with food that wasn't great, Archaeon Gefsis, again, very touristy, but they had fortified wine which knocked me out after a day of touring. Thanks again for the TR.
Thanks for reading CHOPCHOP767. Sometimes it can be hit or miss where you go for food. Luckily we didn't have any problems!
