OVERALL

Beautiful and historic destinations, ugly on the outside but nice on the inside ship, good people, great way to see the area for first-time visitors

BACKGROUND

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BD

We booked balcony cabin 8051 for our family of three. Room was in good condition and a bit larger than expected. The odd shower/toilet/sink arrangement worked fine for us, but it is not easy for someone to sleep in while someone is getting ready. In our room, the couch was close to the sink and the main bed was near the balcony; rooms with the opposite arrangement would feel much more cramped. No noise issues at all, and the view from the balcony was unobstructed. Lifeboats were immediately below, but they didn't block the view and provided entertainment as the seagulls visited looking for handouts. All of the indoor action on the ship is on decks 5-7, so the room on deck 8 was perfect to use the stairs and avoid the terrible wait time for the elevators. We gave up several times and took the stairs on up to deck 15 (sundeck and buffet).

Port Reviews

Naples

we didn’t make any plans, but took a cab to Pompeii and walked through on our own while the cab driver waited, then he dropped us off at a nice restaurant back in Naples within walking distance from the ship, 100 euros for the trip
