Review summary

30th Anniversary cruise so we splurged into the Haven experience. I can say that it's well worth it. From the moment we arrived through disembarkation we were treated to great service and amenities. It may have spoiled us. To hear my wife say it was her best trip ever made the entire experience worth it. No regrets.

Food and Dining

Haven dining was excellent except Menu does not change all week. Cagney's 5 star. La Cucina 4 star. Taste MDR was good. Food served at the Cirque Dinner show was just OK. O Sheehan's for lunch was great. Great Wings.

O'Sheehans Neighborhood Bar and Grill

Nice size 2 bedroom 2 bath suite. Great views when showering. Loved the dual sinks in main bath. Great for families. As we were only 2 we used extra bedroom to store luggage.

5 out of 5
Florence and Pisa. Climbed to to of tower of Pisa. (294 stairs) worth it if you can do it

Cannes, France

5 out of 5
Best port to look at from the Sea. Yachts everywhere. Tender Port.

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

3 out of 5
OK. If we did a repeat cruise on this itinerary, I would opt to stay on the ship next time. It's not that it's a bad place just what it has to offer we can do at home for the most part

Disembarkation
