We wanted an Adriatic cruise with great destinations and ports. This cruise delivered spectacular views and 7 ports of call. The positives included the amazing food and service at the restaurants. The shows were excellent as well with the singers and dancers being professional and enthusiastic. Best stops included Split, Corfu and Venice. Sailing out of Kotor was a great experience to watch the boat maneuver through the fjords.
Announcements were in many languages which you expect for a European cruise and it became quite easy to manage after a while. The staff are courteous and professional and helpful in every circumstance. The boat is very beautiful and brightly decorated.
The ship has started to charge for late night food and for things like pizza so that was a turn off. The pools were small and constantly overrun with children as were the so called hot tubs. Even the adult only pool was crawling with kids as young as 3. These are things that the ship and company could fix and earn a much higher rating from me.
The cabin was spacious with all necessities provided. Shower had a curtain not an enclosure. The rooms are all sort of smoking since many people smoke in close proximity or in the rooms.
We hired a local guide to take us to Tivat, Budva and the old town. Excellent
We walked the old city on our own. Very enjoyable
Stunningly beautiful. A must see port
