Was a great trip overall. Could have made it 12 days - didn't need an extra sea day and Toulon. Summer is always crowded and hot but Cunard was great. Last year we did a 10 day cruise on Holland America and Cunard was also pretty good.

Review summary
Was a great trip overall. Could have made it 12 days - didn't need an extra sea day and Toulon. Summer is always crowded and hot but Cunard was great. Last year we did a 10 day cruise on Holland America and Cunard was also pretty good. The fitness center was good, small but good. Not too crowded. The 3rd floor walk around was good but they closed it every day for a couple of hours for maintenance. It was only me and my wife. The first 7 days were very peaceful and in Rome, a lot of people disembarked and new ones boarded and it was a lot of children who were loud and not well behaved in the dining rooms and even during shows - were loud and got their iPads with them. Very disappointing. Waste of a sea day and another day for Toulon. Could have stayed overnight in Rome and another city - would have been a better use of the days. Overall was a great vacation.Embarkation
