Review summary

Fabulous ship with top notch entertainment. Cast in theatre were best we’ve seen. Food poorest we’ve had in an Windjammer, but Jamie’s and Solarium restaurant were excellent. Ship is wonderful! So much to do and never felt busy despite being full.

We’ve seen beautiful Palma many times so went to Drach caves. Far more spectacular than o expected. A very enjoyable trip.

Went to Florence. Was nice, but didn’t live up to hype - too many cruise ships visiting and so very busy (yes I get the irony!)

We had a lovely wander in the town. If I’d known I would have got off ship sharp to catch public bus to Roman baths. A pleasant little town for a couple hours.
