Amazing city. One place I would love to explore for longer than a day. Dining was seriously overpriced and obviously designed to hit the wallet of tourists. Otherwise incredible experience that should not be missed.

Absolutely stunning place and it is the picture postcard image of what one visualizes of the Med.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
Very (VERY) crowded. I think best time of year to visit would be in late August as it was incredible hot.

Pros: Well run, very clean ship. Service was excellent.

Cons: Swimming pools were small which made them very crowded. Beware wet deck are very slick. They pushed the retail a bit too hard for my liking, and it would have been nice to find some boutique styled clothing than just the typical t-shirt.

Recommends Nieuw Amsterdam? Yes!
