Review summary
Great cruise! Lots of dinning choices, some better than others. Sit down restaurants were nice but menu is about the same at each meal. The buffet is a bit of a feeding frenzy but it is convenient. Very nice ship. Great service. Cabins clean. Ports were excellent and diverse. Took excursions in all ports but only used NCL excursion in 1 port (Toulon) since they are very overpriced (Hey NCL-if you were even close on price I would have booked your tours in all ports). In Italy for example I booked private excursions for 6 in a private Mercedes SUV tours and it was much cheaper than the NCL bus excursions. Excellent trip!

Ship tip
Plan excursions carefully, shop around and get recommendations. This cruise all about the port sightseeing, with the ship as a great home base. Pre-book all tickets (Vatican, Coliseum) in Rome as lines are long and you will not have time to see the sights.
Ports of call
Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy
