Review summary

Excellent cruise that we will do agin someday. However, it would have been better without so many long excursion days in a row ... breaking up long excursion days with sea days is important

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very streamlined, almost no wait to get processed and on the ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Some of the best food at sea ... hard to not gain weight

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Limited activities, Gym is good, pools are good, hot tubs are mostly warm - not hot

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Production shows excellent, guest entertainers mixed .... some great, others horrible (like the hypnotist and magician) Lounge music mixed as well some great others so so

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff is top notch and delivered above and beyond all the time.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Clean ship, however only 4 stars rather than 5 as they desperately need a piano bar (easily done by eliminating some of the shopping)

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very nice for two people. Would have rather had the bed by the veranda rather than the couch as some rooms have. Also would have appreciated a bit more storage as we did back to back and had a fair amount of stuff.

Ship tip

Don't be afraid to speak up and let the staff know what you need, whats on your mind ... they are very attentive to your requests.

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France

5 out of 5

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

Would have been better had the port been closer to Rome and/or Italy would develop a better traffic structure to get people from port to City Center

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
