It was a wonderful seven days, seeing some interesting historic places. We were able to relax in our room and around the ship, and there was always plenty of entertainment if you wanted to get involved. The shows were first class. As always, the food was exceptional and the service was first class. We loved the excursions which introduced us to each of the ports we visited.

Entertainment

We were impressed by the quality of the onboard entertainers -- a very talented group. The shows were enjoyable and well produced. The guest performers were excellent and we especially enjoyed the piano guy who played like Jerry Lee Lewis,
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward was among the best we've ever had. Our cabin was always clean and well made up. She was available but not intrusive. Our excursion shopping experience to the Murano glass factory was an unexpected event which was well organized and lots of fun. Our dining room attendants were fabulous and we looked forward to each evenings' recommendations to see which ones would be "yummie." The wine steward and bar steward had our drinks ready, including my special request for a slice of lime with my soda.

Plenty of room to store everything. It was a comfortable space with room to sit and relax. It was always clean.
We did Rome on our own and there was more than enough to fill our two days. So many treasures to see, but we spent most of our time at the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica. There were crowds, but we were not overwhelmed.
A wonderful snapshot of Sicily. We took a tour on our own and enjoyed a walking tour through the Old Town. We are history buffs and we enjoyed all the historic spots in Messina.
We took an excursion which was wonderful. We did a walking tour which included St. John's Cathedral, an unbelievable work of art with a very well informed tour guide named Laura. This was a much-anticipated port for us as we had never been to Malta and we were not disappointed.
We took an excursion which included the cave, the monastery and a winery. A very comprehensive tour and we enjoyed it. We gained an appreciation for the history. A wonderful tour guide named Arminda.
We took an excursion that included a walking tour of the Old Town. More than enough to see and do in the allotted time. An excellent job in getting us to and from the walking area.
We took an excursion to Ljubljana. Beautiful scenery on the bus trip and a beautiful walk through the Old Town with our tour guide Stanley. Free time allowed us to explore more on our own
We did the shopping excursion to the Murano glass factory with Laura. It was well organized and a delightful experience. We spent two days in Venice on our own after the cruise and loved every minute of it. Again, there is more to see and do than one can cover in two days.
