Review summary

We loved the first week of our cruise. Tested positive for Covid (my guess is we picked it up in Rome) first day of 2nd week and had to stay in cabin the entire 2nd week. To their credit, they took good care of us. Delivered dining room menu every day for us to choose from, checked in a few times a day to see if we needed anything.

Embarkation

Exceptional. We walked right through and we’re on the ship in minutes. There were no lines and all was done online before we got to the ship. We went through security - again, no line - someone scanned our boarding pass and we were on the ship.

Ship experiences

The food was fabulous. Plenty of choices, even for a picky eater. We LOVED the afternoon tea.

Onboard Activities

We saw a few shows, lounged by the pool

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were very entertaining. I think they could improve on variety, though.

Service and Staff

Everyone was super friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was meticulously clean but some areas looked a bit worn.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a balcony cabin that was comfortable. We were impressed with the closet size and number of hangers as we came with quite a few clothes for 2 weeks.

Ship tip

Choose 2nd seating for dinner. It’s hard to make first seating if you’ve been on an excursion.

Ports of call

Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France

Cute town. We took a train to Monaco. Also lovely.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
Loved Rome. Did Vatican/Sistine chapel tour. So crowded you could barely get through or see things. Literally wall to wall people.

Naples, Italy
