Review summary

First cruise and now have the bug. Loved waking up in morning at a different place. So much to do on board you never are at a loss for stuff to do. The entertainment team are really great and work hard to make you have fun. They are never pushy though

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was comfortable and very clean. Out Cabin man Munchamat on deck 12 was lovely. He couldnt do enough for us and we were impressed that he knew our name as soon as we entered the ship. Pleanty of storage space and coat hangers. Anouncements very early were a bit anoying but understand the reasons for them.

Ship tip

Dont expect a lie in. Take an empty bottle on board to fill up as pay for water.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy Did not visit port

Only to embark but clean.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy Did not visit port

Lovely port and well organised to get to centre.
