Review summary

Best Cruise we've been on and we had a great time. The ship, food, staff and entertainment were fantastic! Captain Kate and her staff deserve praise!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and with no issues

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I loved how all the main dining rooms were restaurants and not some huge area like most cruises. This allowed us to go to multiple ones on the ship and it had GREAT variety!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool was great and they even have a solarium for when you are too burned or hot for the outside pool.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
They were Broadway caliber.

Children's Programs

Didn't take kids

Ship tip

DO IT!

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
We did an excursion not with the ship. The coliseum was amazing. I will say that Rome is a lot dirtier than I thought.

Palermo, Sicily

3 out of 5
It was so hot and not a lot to do

Santorini, Greece

1 out of 5
We had 3 or 4 ships dock at the same time and caused hours of waiting in lines for the cable car that only had 6 cars going up and back. Ridiculous! It actually ruined my Santorini experience to be honest. They need to build a better port if they are going to be getting in so many ships.

Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5
We went to the beach on this day and rented a chair. It was lovely and easy to get to by just a quick taxi.

Istanbul, Turkey

5 out of 5
This was a pleasant surprise and one of our favorite destinations!! So clean and tons to do from shopping, to restaurants, etc.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

4 out of 5
I could have done without our excursion this day, but it was a beautiful area.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
It was so hot but didn't disappoint!

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
Loved all the areas we were in on this day. I wish our excursion would have stayed at the ruins of Pompeii a little longer though.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy and they worked with our time table since we had to be back in Rome for an early morning excursion.
