Review summary

Very relaxing. However we feel they totally under utilized the atrium area. Most shows or games were in the theater which is so much smaller. They could really play movies in there, have more shows, and games. Super disappointed with how they used it. The bar was great and the seats were super comfortable. Not sure why they wouldn’t use that space after making it so cool.

Very quick to get on the ship once the previous cruise finally left. Minor delay until 11:30 but then it was a breeze.

Food and Dining

Food was great! Desserts were hit or miss in most places. Kind of disappointing considering the rest was delicious.

Piazza Piani

Sandwiches are pre made but heated up. The caprese was still cold in the middle but the other sandwiches were great.

Cucina del Capitano

Desserts were hit or miss but the entrees were impeccable. Very happy with the short ribs and the veal Marsala. My husband had the osobucco and was not super impressed. He had the carbonara a different night and it was great. Also had this for lunch and the pasta bowls were SOO good.

If you are getting the duck you don’t need to order regular appetizers. We had to bring leftovers to the room because we couldn’t possibly finish the whole dish. Excellent quality and flavors. We had it for lunch also and their options were great!!

Our room steward, Antonius, was the sweetest person. Every one of the staff we came in contact with was super sweet and welcoming.

Gorgeous and very spacious. I loved how long it was. Views on the balcony are great. Only down side is you can see pretty much everyone on the balcony on every floor. And there were no lights out there!

SUPER fast when getting off with your luggage. We were scheduled to leave the ship around 730 But we were already packed up and in the car on the road at 710.
