It was very easy to board here. You can easily walk into town. Note that the city is built on a hillside.

Monaco (Monte Carlo)

The port itself is an industrial area and nothing to look at.

If you want to go into Rome on your own is very easy.  Walk or ride the free shuttle to the dock exit.  Exit the small gate and purchase a BIRG ticket for the train.  It's 9 euros, good all day for the train to and from Rome and the metro/bus in Rome. There's a news stand just outside the gate selling tickets and Rome maps.  It's worth printing out a detailed map of St. Peters etc as the station is a few blocks from the Vatican.  The train stops along the way at several stations including St. Peters and Termini. Check the schedules for your dates online before you go.  Note holiday schedules are reduced especially at rush hour, when you're needing to get back to the boat.

Rome (Civitavecchia)

Nice tour with a great guide. 

It's worth doing some research on where to eat in Sorrento. If you have time there some great little restaurants on the side streets.

Standard Cabin. It's the most aft cabin on deck 8.  We had some smell issues from the drains, but the plumbers fixed them.  There was no noticeable engine noise and only a bit of vibration and swaying.  We rode out 12 foot seas one night with no problem.  It's nice to be at the end of the hall as nobody is walking by the door making noise.  The balcony looks restricted from the outside, but it's fine.  This cabin had a bath tub and not the upgraded walk in shower.  That can be an issue if you are tall or have mobility issues.  I'd happily stay in the same cabin again.

There a nice selection of food and the service was very good.Dinner at The Compass Rose:  Great service with good food.
