Disclosure - This is our 13th cruise - we have cruised on Princess, NCL, Royal Caribbean, Disney, and Holland America in the past and enjoyed every single one of them!!
Embarkation - No problem - not the fastest or slowest - after taking the train from Rome, walk a few hundred yards and go inside the port - catch the shuttle to the ship at the bus stop near the (closed at the time) tourist info booth.
Public Rooms - Not my personal taste in decorating and art, but nice.
Cabin 10090 - Good location despite being close to elevator/stairs - quiet. EXCELLENT MATTRESS! Closet size was good and we had plenty of drawers. Liked the bathroom with a shower, tub, and closed medicine cabinets on either side of the mirror. Bring international plug converter with you if you have one - both types of plugs are available. Nice balcony.
