Review summary

We really enjoyed our . We learned that we really enjoy the small port cities…. And exploring on our own and experiencing the food. I enjoyed the shows and the live music and always felt there was something to do on the ship. I only wish they had more activities like Zumba and dance classes. My adult kids loved all the trivia.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I love the variety of restaurants however, I thought the food was hit or miss. My favorite restaurant was Test Kitchen because it was so different.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Nice selection of on board activities. I just wish some of them were a little later in the day since I’m not an early riser. But there was a nice selection.

Entertainment

Cabin / Stateroom

I love the cabin. It was laid out really well, and it was really nice. Having an iPad to control everything. I enjoyed the hammock on the balcony.

Ship tip

Plan your day if you really want to participate in the ships activities on a sea day, there’s so much to do. It’s hard to keep track.

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
We left out of Barcelona and exploited it on our own, would love to go back and give it a few more days

Toulon, France

5 out of 5
Beautiful port, enjoyed exploring on our own

CARRARA, ITALY Did not visit port

To stormy to dock, went to Ajaccio in Corsica instead… beautiful!

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

3 out of 5
Not enough time in Port, Rome is so far from the port that it was very limiting, we took the train in as did quite a number of other people, and there was a train strike, and many people were late getting back to the ship …but luckily the ship waited 2 extra hours for passengers. In the future, I would stay in the port town and not go into Rome.

Ibiza, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
So glad we were there overnight. It’s a beautiful port and we had very different experiences in the evening compared to the daytime.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
