The ship is too big, the more state rooms they add just means more people to eat and use the facilities. They fill the rest of the ship with, flow rider, rock climbing, ice rink, not really necessary as you are off the boat most of the time.service was very good, food good be better, chicken terrible with bone in and boneless lack flavour. We too 2expensive excursions, 1 to Rome to see the Vatican and basilica, wouldn't do it again, very rushed, no free time not worth the money. Best time was in Naples, good shopping, met a great taxi driver David, for €130 he took us on a private tour to Pompeii, Sorrento, shopped there and booked in an Italian restaurant Tasos for best pizza, the drove the Amalfie coast. Back to Naples. Best trip ever!.

Everything on board the ship is in US$ and expensive. We took an excursion to Florence, recommended by them but not worth it. Take a taxi to see the tower of Pisa. The shows were fabulous, but book before you go and your time dining. It's all the same food in all 3 dining, but you get to know your waiters for my time dining. Loved Alvin and Louis table 24. Main pool was cold and hot tubs not warm. Don't travel with young children, they don't want to see old buildings at each port

Barcelona

Best way to see the city plus walking

Marseille

Walked around, not many speak English, even when I spoke a bit of French they didn't know. Have a beer at McDonald's and fries, must eat
