Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Design and atmosphere of the ship was great. Easy to get around. Liked the self service signs all over the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Beautiful and spacious room. Didn't really like the extended balcony, more because the privacy walls between balconies took away from the view- they were very high.

Ship tip

Disembarking tip: don't tag your luggage so you have freedom to leave at your discretion. People in the disembarking area really didn't know what direction or place you could go regardless of what your plans are once off the ship for good.

5 out of 5
Clean, food was great, and had a nice shopping area on the beach street.

Naples, Italy

3 out of 5
Sorrento was beautiful, but was on the bus more than the city (traffic).

Messina, Sicily

5 out of 5
Taormina was stunning, great shops, excellent food, flowers, views, and musicians on the street.

Valletta, Malta

4 out of 5
Didn't do much, but walked around the port area. Others said old town was beautiful.

Corfu, Greece

5 out of 5
My favorite place! Crystal blue waters, very clean, and not at all touristy. Loved the little shops and cafes. Charming little island.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

5 out of 5
Beautiful city, lots of history.

Split, Croatia

4 out of 5
Nice city, but not as inviting as any of the other ports.

TRIESTE (VENICE), ITALY

4 out of 5
Not enough time, and it was the only day it rained. I imagine it's beautiful on a sunny day. Loved being there, seeing it in person was cool. A must see again so I can have a better experience.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Last to get off ship. Staff were unsure where people were to go depending on where they were going afterwards. Poorly organized. Not enough busses, and wasn't sure if we were going to be stuck at the port.
