We had a great time, very active, we saw a lot. The drink package was really nice and so was the specialty dining package.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very clean, nice balcony, the set up was a little different. The bathroom was not separate from the rest of the cabin. The toilet and a door so you could close it and a curtain to keep it hidden from the rest of the cabin. Not bad, just different.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
We didn't do an excursion through the ship, but we did several on our own before we sailed. The Vatican and Colosseum are amazing.

NAPLES (POMPEII), ITALY

5 out of 5
I did Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius and they were both amazing. Be prepared to do a lot of walking on very uneven surfaces.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
The Leaning tower of Pisa was fun to visit.

Cannes, France

5 out of 5
We didn't do an excursion, but we had a good time. It was crowded because the Cannes Film festival was taking place. The beaches were amazing.

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
la Sagrada Familla was amazing. Make sure if you are not doing a tour that you make your reservations in advance to go inside.

Ajaccio, Corsica

4 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy, we walked right off at our assigned time and our luggage was waiting in the proper color coded area.

Thanks for the review, that itinerary on the Epic is very active if you want to make the most of the main highlights, but so worth it! Glad you enjoyed it.
