Review summary

Another wonderful trip on Edge class ship. We missed being “blown away” on Apex previous year. Spectacular became expected.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Confusion about were to enter terminal. Signage in English could have helped. Once in the terminal, smoothest embarkation of any cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Steward Ken was great. Disappointed by “Infinite Veranda” (especially after all the hype). Not a balcony. Not functional part of room. Electronic control of shade was fun.

Ports of call

Portofino, Italy

3 out of 5

Disappointing. Lots of walking in not interesting villages. Mediocre lunch. Long bus ride. Guide was fun.

La Spezia, Italy

More interesting village than previous excursion. Family style seating meant meeting others on excursion.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5

Changed to earlier disembarkation. They removed luggage tags. Luggage was among last off boat. Worst part of trip. In the future will carry all luggage with us when leaving.

Thermal Spa was great addition. Though not worth the extra cost of Aqua class. In future will get day passes.
