Overall an excellent cruise. We really enjoyed it and met some nice people from all over the world. Food was good, drinks flowed often and we slept well.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Really slow. There must have been a computer issue because the line didn't move at all for half hour.
Ship experiences

Entertainment
4 out of 5
The ships shows were pretty good. My wife really enjoyed Choir of men and I thought it was fun as well. We thought the other show MALEVO was just ok. After a while it was like the same thing again. Howl at the moon dueling pianos was awesome!! As always. The ships other live musical groups were very talented and fun to watch indoors or at the pool. Dj's were good too.
Children's Programs
Couples trip. No kids
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
As expected the staff and service were excellent.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Cool ship with lots of fun shops and bars and all that. Really enjoyed the ship. Loved that the art for sale was in two hallways and they changed the pictures like twice a day. Art auctions were fun. People enjoyed watching the bids.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Room was nice sized and modern. The pillows were actually a little under filled but I guess that's personal preference. One seemed too flat, two was too fluffy. LOL. TV was nice, balcony was nice. Clean room. Typical sized bathroom with one sink and a shower. Room had a lot of storage. We didn't use half the shelves!!
Ship tip
Try the slide! Fastest slide on the sea was true! The floor drops out and you plunge into a warm water slide. FUN!!
Malta was wonderful and we want to go back and spend 5 days exploring. People were nice, the streets were clean. Good bit of history and modern activities. Loads of shopping spots and beaches and cafe's everywhere.
Livorno is nice and once you get the shuttle to city center you can explore, shop, eat, drink. Catch a taxi to a close by must see. Shuttle is 5 euro p.p. and there is no way not to either be on an excursion from port or take the shuttle. The port is huge and unwalkable and 15 minutes from city by bus. Really just a stop to jump on excursions out of the city.
