Sail Date: Sep 2009

After finally arriving in Rome on a flight that was three and a half hours late, we were met by our hired limo driver and taken to the port by 2:30pm. We were booked into Aquaclass, which did give us a slightly shorter line for embarkation, but didn't get us our luggage any faster. Luggage finally showed up around 8pm. Embarkation was very quick and we were lunching on Deck 14 by 3:00.

The ship is beautiful! There are many photos of it posted in various places on the boards, but they hardly do it justice. Artwork around the ship is tasteful, but kind of boring and uninspired. We thought the planter for the tree was a little on the tacky side with all the rhinestones glued to the base, other than that, we loved the ship!

The life boat drill took place shortly before leaving port. Everyone was assigned to a different lifeboat station where we had to meat for the drill. The meeting places were in lounges, dining rooms, and theatres. We did not have to bring life jackets to the drill and had to watch a video. (Towards the end of the cruise in Naples, we watched as some of the crew actually lowered one of the lifeboats and practiced loading people on and off the boats. This increased our confidence that the crew would actually know what to do in case of an emergency.)

Cabin Review

Cabin AQ

Cabin 1645 has the bed closest to the bathroom. Very quiet room and views from balcony are unobstructed. This is a port side room.
