The cruise itself was very relaxing. Food really Needed to be a lot better. The food is a big part so this needs to change. The overall rating should be more like a 3 and 1/2 not a 4

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
1 out of 5
Main dining room food and buffet were not good. Stale breads, buns, donuts, meats were tender , but no good tastes. Lamb was tuff, sea bass was like fried fillets of who knows what. I have never had sea bass fried. The buffet food was room temperature what should be cold was not and what should be hot was not. Chops was even so,so on steaks. Coffee was good and drinks were good
Sorry to tell you , Princess has MUCH BETTER food

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Very nice
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The design of closets , not good. If you had a door open you could not get into the room and same with bathroom. Had to make sure closet and Bathroom doors were closed to get into room. Good niches to store things and good cabinets. On Princess, you could walk into room straight and closet and bathroom off to the side. Bed was very comfortable and I really liked the little reading lights on lamps
Ship tip
Not sure, you won't know about the food until you get there. That was the worst thing. The ship was really good
The thousands of people was just unbelievable. Our tour guide was always up ahead of us and hard to keep up with him and always worried we were going to get lost. The coliseum was great but there too long , guide had too many stories of gladiators. Rushed through Vatican, cisteen chapel. We didn't get to see inside of Basilica, trevie fountain, or Spanish steps. VERY disappointed. The city will not let busses come close enough for people with walking issues
A nice day and 1/2. LOVED VENICE. Boat trip to Murano and Burano islands. Great shopping ther and then in Venice at St Marks square. Great gnocchi at a sidewalk cafe
