Cabin / Stateroom

Obviously the cabins are quite small but had everything in it. Marlon did a fantastic job keeping it clean and fresh, with clean towels etc when we needed them. He was very friendly and helpful.

Ship tip

Check before you go regarding excursions - we were left on the bus at the Vatican underground car park. The lady, Serena, counted us on the coach (coach 33) but did not count us off the coach. I missed the Vatican and was very disappointed and didn’t want to go on anymore excursions
