Review summary

Overall enjoyed it and would do it again. Just needs somebody minor adjustments.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
It was easy once you figured out which line to stand in. I think there’s room for improvement here. The lines need to be defined with signs and/or more staff needs to be present to direct people on where to go. There was a line to drop your luggage off and a line to enter. Otherwise the rest of the process was easygoing.

Ship experiences

The restaurants (including the specialty) were great! The staff are so friendly, every restaurant was clean, the food tasted great, lots of variety to choose from! Great job!

Cagney's Steakhouse

5 out of 5

By far out of the restaurants I personally dined in, this one was my favorite. The food was amazing!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We tried the rock-climbing wall, pool, fitness center, and spa the most. My family loved everything. Clean and friendly staff.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the shows and enjoyed the pool side entertainment.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone for the most part was extremely friendly. There were only a few people in buffet

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I liked the layout and design of the ship. The common areas were very clean and very well maintained. The only bad experience with the ship was my shower in my room. It made a loud screaming sound when in use.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room was a bit small for 3 people to move around. But we made it work. It was very cozy and the room was very clean and very well maintained. The only bad experience was my shower in my room. It made a loud screaming sound when in use. Our steward was amazing! Chris was so friendly and helpful. We loved him! He’s a great asset to your team.

Ship tip

Get ready for a good time. Just sit back and relax!

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
I liked it. Yes we did do an excursion. Lots of things to do as soon as you disembark.

Naples, Italy

4 out of 5
Naples was ok. Port was ok. Yes we did excursions.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
The port was fine. Your staff really needed to be out there directly people to the free shuttle buses. It was so insane. People were pushing and mobbing the buses. I felt so bad for people with small babies in a stroller or luggage. The experience was horrible.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was very easy. We left our luggage out the night before and everything about the disembarking process was easy.
