Okay cabin but def cookie cutter with cheap design.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

1 out of 5
Too far away from Rome. One hour by train and two hours by shore excursion bus.
Thumbs Up

Naples, Italy

4 out of 5
Good port, but many Americans will have a tough time with the local culture of Napoli.
Thumbs Up

Barcelona, Spain

4 out of 5
Great city, easy on and off, but too far away from city compared to the docks of Virgin and MSC.
Thumbs Up

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

4 out of 5
Best port, but again, long drive into town.
Thumbs Up

Marseille (Provence), France

2 out of 5
Too far away from Marseille…after several frustrating days of distanced ports we decided to just hang on the boat.
Thumbs Up

La Spezia, Italy

2 out of 5
Docked in shipping container yard, which forced the group onto buses, then a taxi to train station (up-charged,) and then an hour to Pisa. We are glad we went to Pisa as we ‘checked’ that box. No need to see Pisa again. I recommend a train to Cinque Terre or Florence.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Easy, but a hassle to get a cab to the train station. Again, lots of up-charging.
