The nicest cruise I've been on to date. The ship, the balcony, the staff, the food, it was all wonderful not to mention getting to visit so many fabulous places in Europe! Alternating a day at sea with a day in a port would have been nice and a bit of a nicer pace! It was over too soon.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The balcony was amazing, bed was very comfortable and the steward kept the room clean. The only negative thing is that the shower was horribly hot and the temperature couldn't be adjusted. The only two times it wasn't was when the steward came in the afternoon to check it and when we took showers in the afternoon. Otherwise it was scalding hot.
Yes, we did an excursion. The medieval village and the wine tasting were both wonderful. The vistas were so beautiful and the people lovely and kind. Shopping was good although we did very little. Cafe's in the village and the whole village made me want to stay a few days instead of hours.
Yes, we did an excursion. Much too little time in each city very hurried made it not nearly as enjoyable as it could have been. Three stars is because of that not because of lovely Pisa and Florence.
Yes, we did an excursion. Our tour guide was awful, went too fast, lost half the group, unapologetic, couldn't see her. Just a bad excursion experience. Lot's of complaints from the people on the tour. If not for that I would give this 5 stars.
Yes, we did an excursion. It was lovely, beautiful and a great experience but again too little time to make it leisurely. The 24 hairpin turns going up the mountain gave us breathtaking vistas.
We did Messina not Palermo. No excursion and that was actually a good thing! It was a wonderful city to walk about, we stopped and visited a church, a cafe, a restaurant, a few monuments/statues and a couple of shops!
Yes, we did an excursion. Pompeii was too crowded (it was mid-afternoon) and we didn't see much of it because we had very little time. Also didn't enjoy the walk from the bus to the site, it would have been nice if we could have gotten off the bus at the site. Sorrento was beautiful and wonderful. The views, the restaurant, the shops, the people, it was one of the best!
