We saw & did so much! the ship was perfect for such a port intensive cruise. Not to big, we did not have a long wait to embark or debark the ship.

Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
This was a very port intensive 12 day itinerary in Italy and the Greek islands. We had one Sea day which we enjoyed by the Pool & Spice H2O. We did not use the Spa but we did take a tour of the Thermal Spa, it is Beautiful with a very large thermal pool. We did not use the fitness center but we did take a walk through and it was spacious and well equiped. We did enjoy the entertainment in the evening, Dancing in Bliss and Spice H20.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The Shows in the Main Theater were Very Good to Excellent. We missed Band on the Run, didn't realize it was only going to be one night. It was a 12 night cruise and there was a different show in the theater every night! The other shows were all Excellent, Paradis, amazing costumes! Las Vegas great music, there was also a comedian, ventriloquist and violinist.

Ship tip
Check out the Sky High Bar, the View is Beautiful!!!!
We did not see much of Canne because we hired private driver to take us for a tour of the French Riviera. Unfortunately we did not return early enough to explore Cannes, from what I saw, it looked Beautiful.
NCL's Land & Sea Tour! We had a short time in port, this was the perfect tour. A Beautiful 100 year old boat picked us up at the pier and took us to Old Town, 1 hour guided tour plus 2 hours to explore on our own. We climbed the walls & walked the walls which encircle the old city.
Very Cool!!!
This was our debarkation Port. We added a 1 night hotel stay which gave us the whole day and evening to explore Venice. We took the Vaporato (equivelent to a city bus) to travel the Grand Canal. Venice was Amazing! We walked through the winding paths and streets and alleyways, we went to St Marks Square and visited the Cathedral. The city is Amazing!!!
