Review summary
We enjoyed every moment of the cruise with the exception of embarking in Barcelona and disembarking in both ports where tenders were required. Too long lines or waiting time even for quite active seniors and lack of particular priority measures for older people such as a priority line. We are select members but still more organization was required. All the ship staff is attentive and useful: at guest relations, at restaurants, very particularly our room assistant, waiters at Blue and Maitre D' and his assistant. At Blue, attention to special meals requirements was excellent, however the quality of meals was not as good as our experience in the renovated Infinity in which we have had the pleasure to navigate twice. As compared to our previous experience we did not have the joy to dance, once again, the Infinity's dancing lounge,( not the Sky lounge) is so much cozy and motivating to sit around and look at the dancing couples or dare to dance. In spite of all this we are preparing our next cruise in Celebrity expecting that mentioned inconveniences would be looked at.Ship experiences

Ship tip
If you really want a more refined ambiance make your reservations in Aqua Class and have breakfast and dinner in the Blue restaurant, As somebody stated in a comment, the public areas are spotless. Common spaces in most of the cases are better when they offer special tastings.
Ports of call
Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy
Naples, Italy Did not visit port
