Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Didn't do the main dining room, ate at the buffet and O'Sheehan's Bar & Grill. All the meals were good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Had a lot to offer but we were too busy on excursions to enjoy them.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Some very good entertainers and the Choir of Man and Evolution: Motown were awesome.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone we dealt with was great - Guest Services, Onboard Credit desk, and Excursion desk. Never met our room steward.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout is good, easy to find where we wanted to go. Everything was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Normal size cabin, the mattress was not comfortable, I think all the padding was gone.

Ship tip

Order water ahead of time so it's in your cabin when you get there. It's not included in the beverage package and it's expensive to buy by the can.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
It was very small, therefore very easy to navigate. Did not do an excursion in Rome.

NAPLES (POMPEII), ITALY

5 out of 5

Messina, Sicily

Cannes, France

5 out of 5
Had the worst tour guide, she never waited for people to catch up and 4 people ended up separated from the group.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
This was my favorite. The tour guide was excellent, and the city was beautiful.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We walked off with our luggage to catch a bus to the airport. It was quick and seamless.
