Sail Date: May 2017
Cabin: Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

We stayed in Barcelona for 2 days prior to the cruise and explored the city using the hop on hop off tour buses. This city has the most convenient bus tour among other cities we visited. This was our first cruise and we were quite impressed how beautiful and magnificent it is!

The embarkation process was smooth and orderly and we received our luggages as expected. Loved the cabin with the balcony, you could sit and relax and enjoy the view of the sunset!!!. Robert, our housekeeper always kept it neat and clean. I was actually excited what kind of animal towel he will display on the bed for us everyday. Our dining room Galileo was fabulous and our two waiters Rasler and Elmond were very friendly and attentive and others like Jigger and Jesus as well. Menus were excellent, tried different food each night and loved it. Pizza and salad bar at Sorrento's are just as good. Jonathan always have a nice smile and friendly talk with us every breakfast at Windjammer. Entertainment wise, we had a great time dancing at the Bolero's Dancing in the Street Party, listening to "Elvis" and "Billy" and the rest of the shows too many to mention.

We went to shore excursions each day, the best ever was Rome, the eternal city and inside the Vatican. We had the best tour guide Rosalda,

Port Reviews

Barcelona

Barcelona has the most convenient hop on hop off bus tour among other cities we visited

Marseille

We have to wait for the shuttle to get the city then walk more miles to find the hop on hop off bus tour.

Villefranche

We went to Nice by train and took another hop on hop off bus tour. It takes almost 1 hour wait for the bus. The same with the train going back to Villefrance

Florence (Livorno)

Wholesome experience to Pisa and then wine tasting and we ended busing 2 bottles of wine
