Additional details

Sail Date: Dec 2011

Ship: Pros: Beautiful, new (2008) and extremely clean, mid-large sized. Clearly the company runs a very tight ship, which often times seems to be for the convenience of the ship's crew and not the passengers (see Cons).

Cons: Ship is so tightly run that as soon as dinner hits, all decks except for the pool area are completely cleared of all lounge chairs and they are no longer accesible until the crew puts them out the next morning. After dinner, the last of the pool area chairs are quickly tied up as soon as people get out of them, and by 10 p.m. the pool area is cleared and the poolare drained.

Food: Pros: Classic, authentic Italian meals are served for every dinner. There are also the staples such as broiled Salmon, steak, vegetarian, etc if you're not in the mood for Italian. Very well prepared and presented with non-guilty European portions (We Americans are glutons for double portions, so this was a welcome relief to not be served a half pound steak, or 2 huge pork-chops).
