The staff of this ship were OUTSTANDING! They even gave us a private anniversary part in our room (champange, chocolate covered strawberries, cake, balloons, and other decorations) for FREE!!

Ports of call

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Pisa and Lucca were great. Our local tour guide in Pisa however was terrible, but the tour guide for Lucca made up for it.
Don't Miss: The leaning tower of Pisa

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
Sorrento and Pompeii were AMAZING! Others on the boat said they were disappointed with the actual city of Naples, so I was glad we chose a different excursion.
Don't Miss: Pompeii

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
MUST get off the ship!
Don't Miss: Everything!

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France

1 out of 5
I was disappointed with this port...the tour guide we got was awful...maybe that's why I didn't enjoy it.
Don't Miss: The views are amazing!

Valletta, Malta

5 out of 5
Definitely worth getting off the boat.
Don't Miss: Mdina

Pros: Literally, EVERYTHING

Cons: didn't always keep the kids out of the 'adults only' pool -- that's my only complaint!

Recommends Norwegian Gem? Yes!
