Review summary

Very fun time. 4 couples celebrating anniversaries.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Train was easy from Rome to Port. Took about 15 min to go through check in and get on ship. Very, very easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Typical of most cruise ships. Same food served at buffet as in dining. Specialty steakhouse (Cagney’s)was terrific. Teppanyaki was also very fun and entertaining.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots to do. Even made our own pub crawl for our at sea day (blue shirts). Something for everyone. If you get bored, it’s your own fault.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Million Dollar Quartet was best show I have seen on any ship. The band at Syd Normans was very good but crowded and venue too small.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Gede from Sunset Bar and Mary from Tropicana were outstanding. In all, we didn’t have bad service from anyone.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
No issues. Clean and up to date.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Probably the biggest balcony and bathroom we have ever had on any cruise ship.

Ship tip

If you want to attend a show at Sid Normans, plan on getting in line an hour early.

Ports of call

TRIESTE (VENICE), ITALY

5 out of 5
Stayed night in Venice. Very interesting place. Water taxi to everything!

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
Spent two days prior to cruise in Rome. Great city. Dirty, but very historical.

Rijeka, Croatia

3 out of 5
Everything was closed because it was Sunday. Went to market and returned to ship.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

5 out of 5
Jumped off the cliffs at the Buza Bar behind the wall. Fun time!

Siracusa, Sicily

4 out of 5
Cute port. Easy to walk around.

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
Pompeii was awesome. Take a guided tour. Well worth the money.

Split, Croatia

5 out of 5
Went to beach. Hung out with the locals. Very friendly.

Corfu, Greece

5 out of 5
One of my favorite places. People were friendly. Easy to walk around. Good food.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The easiest process ever. We self carried and walked right off with no delays. We never stopped. We walked about a half mile to train station and took an hour and half train ride directly into Venice. Very easy.
