Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Good cabin, great view of the aqua theater shows, but even with the balcony door close, you still hear the show.

Ship tip

Reserve your restaurants and shows early. Is a big ship, with the Mediterranean route and if you book excursion in all ports, you won’t have time to enjoy the ship properly. The fisrt 2 ports you can be back early at the ship but in the last 3 you will be ariving after 6pm, but overall is a great ship and great ports.

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Naples, Italy

3 out of 5

We stay only at the port area, our tour was cancelled because of the weather. Is not recommended to walk on your own, people drive like crazy and don’t respect traffic lights.

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5

Stay a couple of days prior to your cruise so you can enjoy Barcelona, Sundays are holidays so most of the stores are close.
