The reason we chose this cruise was because we watched presenter of pointless do a special on Rome, Portillo do Spain and Soller on Majorca, and Alex Polizzi do review of Amalfi coast. The cruise we went on was two weeks and would let us visit everywhere we had seen on telly- first week to Sicily, Sorrento/Pompeii, Rome, Corsica, Menorca, and also southerns Spain and Casablanca. The ship is old but is constantly being touched up and cleaned, Service was flawless and have to take my hat off to every one of the ship crew and staff. Food was great and the excursions helped us get the most out of the trip. It felt like we visited every wonder of the world by the time we got back. We had the drinks package arranged before we went away and service was friendly and helpful throughout. The atmosphere on the party nights and entertainment was great and was jumping every night with a great feel amongst the passengers. Guides on the trips were great and although the excursions seemed expensive - found out later royal Caribbean charge twice as much for the same trip. We also priced the trip up at 5000 for 4 people but same trip with RC would have been 7500 plus so TUI offered better value for money.
