Review summary

Ship is very new, a big plus for us was there is a lot of public areas inside when we had bad weather (4 days of our trans-Atlantic crossing); some older ships this would have been a problem. Overall the food was very good, but they did a bad job on any Itialian food. We enjoyed all of the ports of call, especially Falmouth England. At only one port did we need to use tenders to get ashore, the ship would NOT rent any extra tenders, so a lot of people had to wait in very long lines to get back to the ship, we waited 1-1/4 hours, some at our table wated over two hours, all of us standing in the hot sun.

Pros: Beautiful ship, great service & people
