This itinerary through Italy, Spain, and Cannes was really appealing to us. Checked off a lot of boxes for us. Cruising allowed us to visit many sites (Pompeii, Vatican, Florence, and more) conveniently.
I am a teacher and I have a very defined time that I can travel each summer. This specific schedule fit our calendar perfectly.
Our cabin was clean, the food was excellent, the ship set sail and docked efficiently and on time. The security of having record of us boarding and disembarking at each port gave us peace of mind.
Nice and our steward did a great job of cleaning and tidying. There is a security problem - we returned from dinner one evening to find one of the crew in our room with our steward. She was in our room without permission, using our room for her own personal grooming. We reported it to Guest Services and discussed the matter with the Director of Housekeeping who assured us that everyone must swipe their card to get into a room and there is a digital record of everyone who entered, but obviously that is not the case, as this young woman popped into our room while it was open by our steward for cleaning, and there was no record of her presence except for our report. A few days later we found that something had been taken from our room while we were out of the room visiting the port city. The cabin rooms are not secure and this really needs to be addressed seriously by the leadership.
The most beautiful city we have ever seen!
A resort town. Should have planned a trip to Monoco or other.
Excellent and affordable shopping!
