Review summary

After 26 days on this ship we are not planning to return in the near future.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Getting off the ship early at the ports was chaos even though we had priority.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
If you like good food then you need to eat in the speciality restaurants, otherwise after 5 days all the dining room food looks the same. We bought our own snacks since none of the bars had any type of snacks.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
If you are 65 or older than this is the ship for you.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Overall the stage shows were mundane. The stateroom TV channel selection was poor and the ship only offered a few movies on the big screens.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The Secondo Bacio servers were not very friendly. The main Il Bacio was the best place to go for coffee and good service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship and very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of storage and well designed.

Ship tip

Plan on spending the extra money for the speciality dining if your cruise is longer than 7 days.

Just for info, most cruise lines use the same menu weekly. I mention this because I see you are doing an upcoming 14 day cruise and then a 35 day cruise. Expect to have the menu on those ships repeated weekly as well. Longer cruises usually have an older clientele on them.
