Our first cruise with my family. We are 5. So if you have any question don't hesitate to ask.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Pretty fast
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
It was our first cruise experience and to be honest we’re not impressed by the food. If you like fries, hamburger and mashed potatoes then you’ll like it. Breakfast was o.k. The menu is very repetitive. Izumi was o.k too.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Because the boat is very small, the activities are very limited. Two very small pool on deck 9, one for 17+ only and another one for all ages.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
Limited but the staff did their best to entertain guests.
Children's Programs
2 out of 5
Not a lot of kids activities, the arcade only had air hockey and a car game. My kids didn’t want to participate in the ocean adventure which was the only program for the young kids.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
The service was very good, nothing to say much about it.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Old ship and small. They clean a lot but because the ship is too old it doesn’t show that much.
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
The cabin is too small. Not suited for a family. If you have kids, take a room with a balcony or a suite.
Ship tip
Great for the itinerary. But if you can take a bigger ship would be better especially if you have young kids. Can be very good for a couple who like too drink and dance.
You’ll be in a hurry as the Pisa tower and Florence is far from the port. If you go by yourself you will need to take a taxi to the train station and then bus to Pisa. An organized tour is better but very expensive.
Same as Livorno. You only have a few options here. Either you book an excursion which is very expensive or you take a shuttle, then taxi to the train station then a taxi or a bus to the destination. If you take a taxi, ask the price or negotiate before embarking. A lot of dishonest taxi drivers.
Be aware for the cable car. The trick is too get the first tendering ticket to get to the port. But to do that you have to wake up around 5:20 a.m to get the 1st tendering ticket. Because you’ll get off first the line for the cable car to go up is fast, then take a taxi to Oia for 25€. It's worth it as you’ll get there before the crowds of excursion come in. For us we manage to take beautiful pictures without any people appearing in the background.
It’s very cheap in Valletta and everything is near the port. Get off the boat and take an elevator in Barraka low level. You’ll be right in the main place for the restaurants and boutiques.
