Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was great from the Main dining to the Buffet. Main dining is great for someone who has food allergies and also the Bistro solarium also had great food. It has more of your Mediterranean food. Very good place if you have allergies too.

Had to take a shuttle into the city. You can pay for the shuttle or walk a bit for a free shuttle into town..

La Spezia, Italy

Not a port where you can walk into town! My tour was Cinque Terre by Train and Limoncino. That was a great tour….all day tour.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

1 out of 5
My tour guide was waiting at the port. From there was a shuttle it took us to the train station into Rome. She just told us to meet her at 4:00pm at the train station. She did take us into town where you can buy tickets for Hop On Hop Off bus.. €25.00 don’t bother! Wasted more time waiting for the bus than what we saw.It’s all day tour but time is limited.

Naples, Italy
