Good main dining, average buffets and special restaurants. Best was the Italian restaurant.

Onboard Activities

Didn’t participate in much as the cruise is very heavy in port stays and we had long excursions each day.

Very crowded in Forence for the Florence and visit to castle winery. We had lots of free time and enjoyed the sights. Tour guide was not easy to understand and get info from. Thank heavens for gps and internet. We like the winery. Very beautiful and this was my second time on this tour.

Loved the Nice and Eze tour with ncl. We had a adorable tour guide. She made the day nice and we loved the perfume factory. My husband was pleasantly surprised.

Naples, Italy

We did private tour from TripAdvisor. Raphael tours to Capri and Blue Grotto. Seas with a little rough so Blue Grotto was closed but it is such a beautiful place. Weather was outstanding and we got to ride chair lift at the top of highest mountain. We also round the funicular so we had awesome views. I’ve been to the Amalfi Coast several times so this was a nice change.
