Ship experiences

Food and Dining

I pretty much ate at the buffets every night as they had a great variety and different themes every night for the food . The poolside bar was great with either music playing , a dj or a band Michael was my go to bartender he was awesome

Onboard Activities

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was clean and easy to navigate. I’ve read people complaints about shower and toilet across from each other but it didn’t really bother me. I didn’t spend enough time in the room to really care about that

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Clean and near the elevator. Was quiet didn’t hear a lot of running up and down the hall way

Ports of call

Cannes, France

5 out of 5
Did the eze and Monaco excursion beautiful views in eze but we went to a perfume factory got to see how they make perfume and had like 40 min to walk around the town , Monte Carlo area was beautiful got to see where the Grand Prix runs which was awesome but wish we had more time in that area and less of the perfume factory I wore shorts sneakers and a t-shirt and was allowed to go into the Monte Carlo casino and played the slots no problem

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Did the cinque terre excursion . Was pretty cool to see the old towns and how they still function today had plenty of time to eat at the last stop and walk around in the market and all the shops they have there. Had some pizza slices very good !! Can hang at the small beach area as well very rocky going into water

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
I did the hop on hop off tour was a great way to check out all the main stops but didn’t have time to wait in the line to go inside the colosseum, busses run very frequent . But keep in mind there’s about a 45 min to hr bus ride from the port and back to the port

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
Barcelona was very beautiful
