Great Mediterranean Option, new modern sleek and very nice Norwegian Ship, you get to see a new location every day. There are no sea days though, if you would like to enjoy the ship, you need to stay and not get off in one or more ports. Norwegian provides an Excellent Value for your money.

Ship tip
Make reservations for dining, specially if you are a larger group or family. It will make your dining experience much nicer.
We decided to take a Norwegian Shore Excursion to the Beach. It was more like a Beach Transfer sold as a Tour and Beach Break. We were lucky to get and be able to pay for an umbrella and chair lounges. Also, we heard back on the ship that it wasn't the best beach to go to.
WoW what a city. It has everything, but you have to decide what you want to see or concentrate on. We decided to book our own Highlights tour and were lucky that we had a great guide. We went to Monserratt and enjoyed it a lot. If you want to see inside the Sagrada Familia, concentrate and do that first. You need to reserve and purchase tickets beforehand or book a tour that includes the Inside Visit.
Lots of options of tours and things to do: Pisa, Florence, etc. We had been in Livorno a few times, so we took a Norwegian Shore Excursion to the Ligurian Coast and it was wonderful.
A little chaotic at the pick-up exit, because of the number of buses, vans, sedans and options after dissembarkation. Make sure you have the number of your driver or tour provider before you out.
