Review summary

Definitely a lot of bang for your buck on this cruise. Imagine what it would cost to fly and drive to every destination if you were to do it land based. Loved everything about this cruise. Definitely a bucket list cruise that we are glad we did. If you are thinking about taking this cruise I would highly suggest you do it!!

Cabin / Stateroom

Not sure what they were thinking here with Open bathroom design. No privacy whatsoever. You can literally Open the front door from the toilet. Lots of storage space is a plus. Balcony is bigger than most new ships comming out.

Ship tip

Ship is big , gorgeous, spacious, never felt crowded even though we had 3k plus on-board. Enjoy everything it has to offer !

Masks are optional on the ship. When in Port in Italy the cruiseline said we had to take our vaccination cards with us but NOT once did the authorities ask to show our cards.

What were the Mask requirements like in Rome and all the other ports, including the ship?
