The ship is beautiful, the services are great, and the personnel are very friendly. It is definitely a high class, sophisticated ship, we had a lot of fun.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was great at the elegant restaurants (Villa Verde, mexican restaurant), but at the Bora Bora it wasn't that great, and they took out the trays from you if you were 2 minutes late!

Entertainment

3 out of 5

At the pool it was fun, but the Italian facts quiz was untakeable for anyone not italian! :-$ The samba dance and others were fun, some of the music shows were good.

We took the Valley of the Temples tour, which for history buffs is also a don't miss site! Incredible temples, and good tour, but tiring for smaller children. They didn't take us to a store to do some tourist shopping! :-<

Marseille (Provence), France

We took the Cassis tour which was really cute, though no guide or anything, just wandering around the streets doing some shopping. It was so early when they took us that the cafes were not even open! We also wandered around Marseille which was also nice, but didn't have much time.

We took the Cave of the Dragon tour, which was very nice and interesting. I loved the classical music show on boats with the cave lights shut down. We also did some shopping at the store - had a budget prepared beforehand!

We took the Pompeii tour, which to history buffs is a don't miss site! Incredible to walk around the site. Wish we had more time in the store, shopping for cameos!

We took the Portofino tour, which was really nice, boat ride and everything! Wish we had more time to walk around Portofino and go up to the mountain sightseeing.
