Review summary

Overall the ship was beautiful. It is decorated in a somewhat formal style, but at the same time felt comfortable. It was very well laid out and very clean (hand sanitizer at every corner!). The service, food, and facilities were all top notch.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

When compared with some of the entertainment on cruise ships like Disney, it just doesn't compare, but it was OK. The activities were all less than impressive, but with such fantastic ports, we didn't spend much time on the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabins were a bit small for a high end cruise line, but it was comfortable. The amenities were high end and the decor was very nice.

Ports of call

Taormina, Sicily

5 out of 5

A beautiful port just to explore on your own. The shops and restaurants were great and we enjoyed wondering the town. We also look a cable car down to the beach and explored the Roman Amphitheater with view of Mt Etna. Beautiful!!

Sorrento, Italy

5 out of 5

We booked a private tour on our own and saw Pompeii, Sorrento, and Positanto. It was a wonderful day. Just wish we had another couple of hours in the port to explore.

Don't Miss: Ate lunch at a superb restaurant overlooking Positano called La Tagliata

Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5

Took a local bus to the beach on the other side of the island which was a nice way to split up the day. Walking around the town with its quaint shops was also nice.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

5 out of 5

Booked a private guide on our own who took us to the site of Ephesus, the virgin Mary's House, St John's Basilica and a demonstration of carpet weaving. We packed a lot into a very short day. They should add more time at this port.
