Review summary

Excellent cruise ship, entertainment and crew. Enjoyed the cruise route and had a ton of fun.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The lines were not defined for the baggage drop off and the check in. Guest were dropping their bags off and were told to walk down to the check in but there was a line that went all the way back to the baggage drop. Once we got to the check in person the process was quick and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All of the dinning locations were excellent, clean and had tons of options.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Did not use any of the on board activities. It was too cold for the outdoor pools and I do not like the indoor pool due to the strong chlorine smell.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We went to the show every night and they were all excellent. The singing and acrobatics were better than expected.

Children's Programs

Did not have children on this cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent staff/crew from the waiters in the dinning rooms to the room stewards.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was well maintained and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was new and nice. The balcony window option was great, we were able to open the blinds every day and have a floor to ceiling view.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
Rome is excellent with so many places to see and eat. We did not do anything in Civitavecchia.

Ajaccio, Corsica

2 out of 5
Everything was closed on the Sunday we were in port. Went back to the ship early. I would recommend not to go to this port when all of the shops are closed.

Portofino, Italy

5 out of 5
This was an excellent port and would want to go back.

La Spezia, Italy

5 out of 5
We did not do anything in La Spezia we did an excursion to Pisa and that was excellent.

Cannes, France

5 out of 5
We took an excursion to Nice and Monaco on this port day and both locations were awesome. The film festival was in town when we were in port so it was a little busy.

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

4 out of 5
Palma was very nice and had a lot of places to see close to the port. However, the hop on hop off bus was not organized very well and we lost about 1 hour trying to get on the bus.

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
Great port with tons to do and great food.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Decided to walk off with luggage and it was quick and easy.
