We chose this cruise mainly because of the itinerary and were extremely happy with it. From Rome (Civitavecchia) to Livorno, Cannes, Marseilles, Barcelona, Palma de Majorca, Cagliari, Malta, Messina, Naples, and back to Rome. In each port we had a good amount of time to take a tour or visit on our own, shop a bit, have lunch, and often there were shuttles or you docked right near the town.
The ship is very well maintained and clean, the staff was courteous and tried very hard to accommodate us.
Our balcony cabin, 10006 forward, was very well located and quite, but a little smaller than other balcony cabins since it did not have a desk but did have a bigger entrance area. Our room stewart, Antonio, was excellent.

We visited on our own. There is a shuttle from the port to the
