Although we'd been looking to sail on Holland America after a good experience with our last cruise, we chose this cruise with Royal Caribbean because the itinerary was exactly what we were looking for: ports in Italy and Greece.

We bookended our trip with several nights in Rome, staying at an outstanding, hidden gem of a boutique hotel, The Inn at the Roman Forum. Our hotel secured transport for us from the hotel to the port in Civitavecchia.

We booked a Grand Suite on the ship, so had priority boarding. Both embarkation and disembarkation were a breeze, handled very efficiently, as was the security muster.

Cabin Review

Grand Suite

Cabin GS

Spacious and comfortable with more than ample storage. Balcony had chairs, table, and two lounge chairs. Everything was kept very clean. Bed was comfortable, but pillows weren't. Bathroom was lovely and large. Nice soaking tub, but it was a little hard for a petite person to get in and out of, and the controls were a little fluky. Noise was generally not a problem, except hearing the scraping sound overhead in the morning and evening when the pool lounge chairs were moved across the deck.
