Review summary

Let me start by saying we had a great time. The ship was clean and well cared for. Our cabin was a good size and the cabin stewart was attentive. The food was just ok. What really sold us on this trip was the ports of call. Italy, Greece and Croatia. The down side was the rude Italians. They refuse to wait in line, constantly cut you off, and are not the least bit friendly. Even the crew was complaining. We were two of only about 60 Americans on the ship.

Ports of call

Bari, Italy

This was not a really interesting port. It's only purpose is to be a second embarkation port.

Absolutlety beautiful city. Skip the tour. You don't need to do it. Just walk around on your own and you can see all the same stuff. The downside was that it was too short of a stop. Only 4 hours.
