The crew was fantastic- very friendly and fun. The themed parties were very fun and were loved visiting Italy and Greece! We were not thrilled with the art auction group however.

Don't miss the volcano hike, but be aware that it includes a swimming excursion that wasn't mentioned in the description. A lot of people did not have swim suits with them.

The Almalfi Coast is beautiful, but do it by sea and not by bus. The road is terrifying!
