Review summary

Overall, we had a great time. The cruise offered more than we expected. I liked the ease of having the excursions planned, as well as the options for dinner and entertainment. We would definitely chose a cruising for vacation again in the future.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
I was surprised at the line at first, but it moved quickly and the process was very organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
All meals had a good variety from which to chose and it was all delicious. The only thing I missed was not having snacks available while sitting at the bar for a late afternoon drink before going to cabin to get ready for dinner.

Onboard Activities

There seemed to be a good variety of things to do but we were not on the ship except for one day while At sea.

Ship tip

Plan for long days!

Ports of call

Ibiza, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
It rained so we didn't do as much as we would have liked. That said, two days in this port is too long. Would rather have extra time in other places.

Marseille (Provence), France

5 out of 5
Enjoyed our trip to providence villages and thought out guide was great. She was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. Transportation provided was comfortable.

Cannes, France

4 out of 5
All in all, we enjoyed our day. We only passsed through Cannes while on the Nice/Monaco/Monte Carlo excursion. More time in Nice would have been appreciated. I also thought time was wasted when we had to load up on the bus and travel from one side of Monaco to the other side to see Monte Carlo.

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France

4 out of 5
Again, only passed through on an excursion. We revisited Nice since we didn't feel like there was enough time the day before.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

3 out of 5
We only saw the historical section of Florence and had a couple hours to roam around in a highly touristy area. We would have liked to see more of what the city has to offer.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

3 out of 5
Very rushed.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very well organized and easy, particularly given the number of people disembarking at the same time.
