We loved this cruise. The size of this ship was just right. With about 2000 passengers and 890 crew you got lots of service. It was small enough that you could get to know the crew and they were all friendly. Many of them even called us by name.
The Itinery was great and why we choose this one. We got to do an overnight in Venice and stopped at many ports along the Adriatic that we loved an had not heard much about. Besides Venice we loved Split, Corfu, Olympia & Malta. We enjoyed the Doge Palace Tour in Venice and recommend it. We also liked our tour of Olympia which included a stop at a local winery.
It was nice to have days at sea on the 1st & last days of our cruise to just relax and enjoy the ship.
We liked having the balcony cabin. It gave us great views and was nice to sit out there sometimes. The room was a good size and very clean. The bathroom was small but it had a good shower and was what we had expected. I think by upgrading to a balcony room we also got 2 "free at sea" deals so it was worth it.
We stayed in Rome before the cruise and visited the many sights there including a tour of the Vatican.
