Just returned from our May 16 cruise. This was a port intensive cruise. So if, like us, you like to see as much as possible of the countries, this is for you. We visited Venice, Koper, Kotor, Valletta, Split, Dubrovnik, Katakalon, Corfu, Catania, and Ravenna.We took private tours while in port. My favorites were Montenegro and Malta. Montenegro is beautiful to sail into and Malta is just this great walled place. There was so much history and culture to devour on this cruise.
Embarkation was a pain. I think it took an hour or more, even though we were preregistered. I found the same problem when sailing with Celebrity to Alaska. They just don't have this down very well.
The ship is beautiful, with lots of art throughout. The ship is also big. We kept finding new areas of the ship in the first few days. I loved the fact that there were always enough chairs on deck for everyone. Plenty of hot tubs too, between the outdoor areas and the solarium. I didn't have many drinks but enjoyed watching the flair bartender in the martini bar-impressive.
Near the atrium so music at night, though only heard it once at night. Bumping sounds from above though at times. Think this cabin may be under the bar prep area.
