Review summary

Overall, it was very relaxing cruise. The on-board food was bit too salty, and services were too rush. We enjoyed the other passengers on the ship and had many fun conservations with most of them.

It's an old town, not much to do. Just walk around the beach and enjoy the local restaurant.

Naples, Italy

Near the downtown, so we went on our own and hike to the castle top. Enjoy delicious pastry and espressos.

Took the NCL excursions (take the selfie for Florence and Pisa). It's about 7 hours long but learn about culture and it's nice having the pro taking the picture for us.
