Review summary

This ship is brand new and it shows! The common areas and entertainment areas are very well laid out. There is honestly nothing bad I can say about this beautiful ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was very high quality and left nothing to be desired. They even offered many vegetarian options that were delicious!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The entertainment was great. I spent a lot of time in the Punchliner Comedy Club and greatly enjoyed myself.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff on the ship were genuinely nice without being saccharine sweet or fake in any way. They were very nice and friendly and concerned about doing their jobs well and making sure you had a good time.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Fantastic!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The staterooms were very well-appointed and much larger than those in ships I have sailed on in the past.

Ports of call

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5

Florence was very easy to manage and navigate around. There are amazing statues everywhere you look.

Don't Miss: The Duomo and Michaelangelo's "The David"

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5

Naples is dirty, difficult to navigate, and terrifying when attempting to cross the street. Skip the city altogether and do a tour of Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii, or Herculeum. **Note: Pompeii was a pleasure center and is full of things not recommended for small children.**

Don't Miss: Pompeii if not with small children.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

5 out of 5

Easy to traverse on your own.

Don't Miss: The Old city on the Rock

Messina, Sicily

5 out of 5

We expected Sicily to be a waste when it was in fact, an amazing place! Sicily has a rich history evident in the architecture, the people were unbelievably warm and friendly and I have never, ever, had such amazing cannoli.

Don't Miss: Taormina, the Greek Theatre, and Cannoli!

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5

ROME is INCREDIBLE!!! We did the "Rome at its Best!" and could not have enjoyed it more. It was very strenuous walking, but totally worth it.
