Review summary

A few of the excursions on this itinerary seemed like they were just thrown in to avoid having a shorter cruise. I think that there must be some better ports than Bastia and Olbia.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
So much better than all the other cruise lines which we have used. My only complaint was that it took over 9 hours from embarkation until I received my suitcase in my stateroom.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining room and the two specialty restaurants served excellent food. The Waves buffet was good for breakfast, but rather ordinary for lunch choices.
