Review summary

Generally we were very happy with all the ports and excursions (except Paris, which was the most expensive). The ship is desperate need of maintenance!

It's very small, but we knew what we were getting

Ship tip

There needs to be an overhaul done on this ship!! Twice the toilets didn't work (for quite some time) and once we came back from an excursion there was no water on the ENTIRE ship!! Horrible!! If I were looking for a cruise and saw it was this ship, I'd never book it!!

I believe this was the port that the tendering process was a complete disaster!! People waited in lines literally for an hour and a half to disembark.

Thumbs Up

Le Havre (Paris), France

4 out of 5
We took the Paris and leisure excursion and we just drove by sites (after a 3 hour bus drive). We did get dumped off for 2 1/2 hours by the museum district. There were no restaurants or shops nearby. We got no directions on where to walk, so we sat in a park for 2 hours rather than risk getting lost. I was so disappointed in this excursion!
