Easy embarkation.

Santorini, Greece

5 out of 5
Beautiful port after dark from ship. Did the Opa excursion. Food was good. A lot of walking uphill to get to the cable car down. Would be tough if you have mobility issues.

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
Did a private tour at this port. Was really nice. Markos our driver ( Rome cabs) was passionate about his history and culture.

Mykonos, Greece

5 out of 5
Did a private tour here also. Which didn’t pan out. Viator was who we originally booked. They subbed it out to a company who subbed it out to another company. That company was late. After 2 phone calls and a man on the dock, we had to many red flags so didn’t end up going with them. NCL had a free shuttle to town and we jumped on that and it was a perfect day.

Corfu, Greece Did not visit port

Stayed at spice H2O all day it was nice

Valletta, Malta

4 out of 5
We did maltas scenic beauty, it was ok.

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
Did another private tour( Rome cabs). Jiovanni drove us first to amalfi coast. Was so beautiful, then on to sorento for lunch then to Pompeii. Again Pompeii would be tough if you had mobility concerns.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Long excursion through NCl. Did Florence and Pisa on your own. The onboard tour guide walked us to where we were going then gave us free time, great way to go for us. Florence had lunch and a couple hours free time then walked back to the bus.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Awesome. We carried our luggage off. We only slowed down to scan our face at the kiosk. We were off 5 minutes after leaving our stateroom,
