Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Loved the specialty dining but had great meals everywhere.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There where lots of things to do. I did think the bingo packages were expensive. I would have done it more if it was more affordable.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Both shows were absolutely fantastic. But we only got to see both of them once on a 16 day cruise. I would have liked more.

No kids with me

Ship tip

I loved the mid/aft location of my room, and my room was very still on the starboard side. My friends on the port side were always vibrating.

Cadiz (Seville), Spain

Everyone’s favorite port, it seemed. Beautiful place to just wander around.

Malaga, Spain

5 out of 5

Valencia, Spain

2 out of 5
It took forever to get out of the port itself… long walk… too far from city center without transportation which was a bumme.

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
I love Barcelona. Taxi man at port was a nightmare, and you had to take a taxi or spend forever walking over the massive bridge into town, but I love Barcelona. I’ll be back.

Cannes, France

5 out of 5
Pretty despite the crazy construction everywhere. Lovely place to walk around.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Took bus to Florence. Our bus guide was great!

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
Love Rome!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We did the “get off with your bags yourself “ and it was easy but could have been better if all the others weren’t blocking the way out.
