Embarkation

5 out of 5
Unbelievably smooth - we got right on and no waiting.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room food was good but we loved the buffet and the Solarium Bistro Buffet the best. We went to Izumi for a specialty dining experience and it was excellent. Sugar Beach had great chocolate ice cream!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There were so many things to do and we didn't get around to all of them. Loved the gym and the Abyss slide was so much fun!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Live band was good, enjoyed all the live musicians at the venues we frequented. I liked the many choices of lounges and bars available.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was great! Love Charie in the Copper Kettle Pub and Olga was our steward - she was the best!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It was super clean and it was new so everything really sparkled.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Bed: super comfortable; Closet: nice and spacious; Balcony: large (we were in a junior suite); Big TV and comfortable couch; very spacious room with nice decor. I loved that the bathroom had a night light.

Ship tip

Make an effort to see everything. We really didn't do that and I'm sorry I didn't. Wish there had been more Sea Days.

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
We were on our own here and came a day early, stayed a day after. I loved it here the most. See La Sagrada Familia - amazing. Metro was super easy to use.

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
We were on our own but we should have done an excursion. We enjoyed walking around the old town and seeing the gothic church.

Marseille (Provence), France

5 out of 5
So relaxing. Our tour guide was great! We had a nice day there.

La Spezia, Italy

5 out of 5
We went to Florence and there was so much information and our guide Andrea knew EVERYTHING!! Definitely need to come back here.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

5 out of 5
We did an outside excursion - we tried to see everything but so hard. Really need two days here - so many amazing ruins and landmarks. Went inside the colliseum and St. Peters - so mind blowing.

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
My favorite port - we did Amalfi Coast by land and Sea and Pompeii. Luisa was our guide and she was fantastic. Pompeii - OMG - always wanted to see it since I was a kid and it did not disappoint. Amalfi Coast - how the heck do they get in and out of their houses??? Such a cute town. We stopped at a cameo store and also tried limoncello. LOVED THIS DAY>
