Ship tip

We were happy with the service provided. I was expecting more in regards to the activities for crowns up and shows. I would not recommend the shore excursions, they are expensive and takes a lot of time on embarking back to the ship as well. Santorini excursion was cancelled at the last second and as a result, lines were awful and we had a bad experience trying to reach on the top to see Santorini highlight resulting in not making up to the top. Disappointing.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

3 out of 5

Santorini, Greece

1 out of 5
our shore excursion was cancelled at the last second, an hour lines to go to the top reason why we had to opt to go up with the donkeys where we had an accident and we did not make up to the top as we were dreaming to see Santorini highlights. very disappointing experience.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

3 out of 5

Mykonos, Greece

4 out of 5

Valletta, Malta

4 out of 5
Very nice, after the tour excursion we made Valletta on our own which was great.

Messina, Sicily

4 out of 5
We made Taormina by your own tour excursion. Beautiful place.

Naples, Italy

2 out of 5
We made the Sorrento tour by your own and pizza in Naples. I have been in Sorrento many times before and i like this place. Naples and the pizza place is a no no.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

2 out of 5
Florence is nice ... pizza was crowded and I did not enjoy it , I would not recomed this tour. Choose Capri instead which is much nicer and closer.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Our flight back was at 10 AM. Cruise cancelled all of the morning transfers bit we had a great assistance to disembark first and arranging a van that took us in time to get the flight. It was great.
