We chose this cruise last minute from Valencia Port. Check in was easy and we were on board by 12 noon. The quality of the ship was stunning, and extremely clean. There were lots of neighbourhoods, in fact we were discovering new locations on board right up to the last night on board.

The Coloseo was an excellent daytime location, comfortable seating and first class servers. In the evening there were multimedia shows that were again excellent.
