Beautiful new ship, superior in many ways

Additional details
This was our second Eastern Mediterranean cruise, and we picked this one because we had never been to Greece, Turkey or Malta before, and we now try to find itineraries with ports which are new to us. We love to explore new places and a 13 night cruise with only 2 sea days seemed ideal.
While we had a great time, we learned that such a heavy itinerary takes a toll, and next time we will look for a cruise with more sea days to recharge our batteries. We had arrived in Rome a day earlier and took that day to walk the streets of Rome, so we were already somewhat tired when we embarked on the ship.
We started in Rome, and thanks to Cruise Critic, we were able to join a group who organized a great deal on transportation from the airport to the port. Getting there early we found the embarkation extremely efficient and pleasant, and by 1:00 p.m. were exploring this beautiful new ship.
Cabin Review
AquaClass 2
We were in Aqua Class. 1631. Very well designed cabin, with lots of space to store things, though we could have uses a few more exterior shelves in a corner the way they used to have them. Storing the luggage under the bad is also handy. The balcony with 2 lounge chairs was very nice, making reading as relaxing as it could be. On our daylight free time we tended to do so on the balcony rather than the more noisy pool area. The bathroom was larger than usual, and in this category, the shower seemed a bit larger and had very good hardware and an elaborate shower mechanism with multiple nozzles.
