Review summary

Overall the cruise was good. My son caught a bug (not Covid) while on the boat. The medical team didn’t do too much to help him. He was completely dehydrated. All we were given were anti nausea pills and Powerade.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Very simple if all preboarding instructions were followed ahead of time. The port location is not very convenient. It would be helpful to be more upfront about the port being an hour from Rome.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dining was the best part. The buffets were very repetitive and not worth the hassle

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Moving the sport court indoors is a great improvement over other ships. However the court didn’t offer enough free play for the kids. Very limited opportunities for parties with varying ages to play at the same time.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Shows were entertaining

Children's Programs

2 out of 5

Age split enforcement was a bit annoying for groups with a variety of ages from 11-18

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Always wonderful

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Felt spacious enough. Would be good to know that cabins are based on double occupancy and adding a second cabin for a party of four is at no extra cost.
