Review summary

This is a very nice cruise. However there is only one sea day. If you do the tours at each port like we did it can be grueling for the faint of heart. There is a lot to see for a first timer to Europe.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast without any delays.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Haven and specialty restaurants were a 5. Buffet was a 4. However we only ate there once.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Piano bar and other musical acts were mediocre. We saw the shows before and did not see them this cruise. Most disappointing was there were no comedy shows.

Children's Programs

No small kids.

Service and Staff

As always the service was excellent.

Great itinerary. Those ports do require a lot of grit going to each port every day.

Nice itinerary, I’m sure the ports were worth the exhaustion!

Mediterranean cruises tend to be port intensive with little downtime

Sounds like a wonderful trip. We are big Haven fans, too.
