Review summary

Overall I would recommend this cruise itenary to anyone who wanted to see Europe in a safe way. Love the ports which is why I chose it.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
it was stressful flying for 24 hrs then finding out the covid tests conducted prior were not acceptable and then having to stand in the heat for 3 hrs to get another covid test prior to boarding the ship I would suggest that the cruise support staff have more testers so they can move 2500 people through the lines much faster than they did

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
the Symphony dining was great. I went to Sabatinis and was NOT impressed with the food at all, very bland and not fresh. I had the sole, very dissappointing.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
James, Mina were GREAT at the Wine bar. James is very knowledgeable about wines and had great service from them both. Sergio my steward for my floor was also very good. He made sure that all my needs were met and was very considerate. Some of the other staff in Symphony in the back corner were not very good at all. I got items I didn't even order or the order was wrong.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
loved the ship and was very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
the bed was lumpy, and looked like the floors had not been vacuumed as there was dirt and toe nails from the prior person who stayed in the room.
