Excepting the long drive to Rome and the poor weather in Florence, I give the cruise 5 Stars!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Excellent, quick and functional...no waiting.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Main dining and specialty restaurants were excellent...buffets were so-so.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Really too cold/rainy for any outdoor on board activities.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Out of the 5 shows we saw, I would rate only two of them worth seeing again. The Ice Show and Fly Me Away were the best.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Grrrreat! Everyone was very cordial, knew their responsibilities and were well trained.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
For a big ship, the layout and design worked well for us. All areas were very clean and there were many "Purell Stations" throughout the ship.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin was clean, asked for more towels-got them with no problem, Joel was there every morning to clean up and every evening to turn down and freshen up. The balcony door was very difficult to open and could use some repair.
Ship tip
Stay away from the Windjammer buffet, the main dining room and specialty restaurants had better food. Brand name Alcohol was expensive (Grey Goose $13) so opt for Absolute or Tito's at $10 each.
90 minutes bus ride to Rome from the port...not enough time to see everything. Vatican, Trevi Fountain, etc. was packed...rude tourists and too much traffic.
