Review summary
This was my first cruise ever and I really enjoyed myself. I’m 28, single, w/ no children. I came on the cruise with my 2 sisters, their 3 kids (12-17), our mother, and my best friend. Not the best cruise for small children or kids who live in the pool since there is only 1 and it’s small. Visited every port except Dubrovnik. I will suggest that you have a plan for each port but no pre-paid excursions or tours. Time constraints can make previously planned and pre-paid events difficult to attend. Also, biggest cost was on transportation in each port. Traveling in a group, with proper negotiation skills, can bring down the price. My sister was almost stranded in Dubrovnik with a large group of other cruise passengers so pay attention to your time. Go in off season and it will be more enjoyable. Overall I had a great experience.Embarkation

Ship tip
The best time to visit the pool is early on the morning or after 5pm. Since there is only 1 pool and it’s small, don’t be discouraged. If you don’t mind crowds then it won’t matter. But maybe not the best cruise of you have kids.
