Food and drink were excellent. We were fortunate to get a seat at the Chef's Table. Outstanding meal, presentation, and wines.

Onboard Activities

We didn't do much of the onboard activities due to having 15 ports in 21 days. The ones we did were good.

Interesting port. Ship Tour (by taxi) for cave and see monkeys. Tour was to be from 10 - 12. Drive left us off in center city at 11:15 after asking him to return us to ship. He said shuttle to ship was just to the right so off we went. Almost 30 minutes later and asking many questions we find out you have to pay for a taxi-shuttle to return you to the ship. We were not happy with us and informed the excursion desk.

Marseille (Provence), France

5 out of 5
Great port. Tour to Provence. Enjoyed the tour.

Genoa, Italy

5 out of 5
When into Milan on tour to see painting of "Last Supper". 2 hour bus drive each way. Excursion could have been much better but we had a tour guide whose first tour ever was ours. No experience so a lot of wasted time and walking.

Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy

5 out of 5
Wonderful port. Excursion tour to Florence was great as well as getting to see the leaning tower of Pisa (was only a quick photo stop requiring you to walk a ways to the site to see tower).

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was the fastest and best we have ever had. Walked right off and onto the bus to the airport.
