Review summary

Ship was good and new. Had no issues checking in. Now, shore excursions bookings with Shoreexcursions.com was a a disaster. We had an excursion to Pompaii and Amalfi Coast. Finding the bus tour was horrible. Once found, felt the need to keep checking I was in the right excursion. will never book an excursion if not directly with the ship.

Excursion with Shoreexcursions.com was a disaster. Tour guide was poor, restaurant was below any rating possible, but they did include an ant in the ice cream. Amalfi is nice
Don't Miss: Pompeii is impressive but would have been better with a better tour guide

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Visited Pisa and Tuscany for some wine tasting. great tour booked thru NCL
Don't Miss: Tuscany is beautiful

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
a lot of walking and a lot of knowledge. Again, an excursion booked with NCL.
Don't Miss: trevi Fountain

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
