Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Generally everything was clean, fresh, and tasty. We preferred the specialty dining to the main dining options.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Ropes course, water slides, pools...lots to do.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We were not impressed with the entertainment, based on our experience with other cruise lines.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our service was good, but not amazing. Our room steward was amazing and we had some amazing servers, but overall, we felt that the training level and professionalism was not what we have experienced on other lines.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship and very well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was small, but very functional with plenty of storage. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean.

Valletta, Malta

Messina, Sicily

1 out of 5
I would absolutely NEVER have an interest in returning to Messina again. There was nothing to do and the taxi drivers at the door of the port were aggressive and expensive. Not a fan.

NAPLES (POMPEII), ITALY

5 out of 5

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5

Cannes, France

5 out of 5
Cannes was very pretty, but we arrived at port at 7:00 AM and had to be back on board by 3:00. Let me tell you, not much is going on in Cannes at 7:00 in the morning.
