    Located about midway down the east coast of Italy, Ancona has played an important role in the country’s history. It was home to Emperor Trajan – the successful military leader who led Roman soldiers in expansion – who paid to renovate the town port, leading to prosperity. You can see an ancient arch that was constructed in his honour. The Mole Vanvitelliana is another interesting place to behold; a manmade pentagonal island which has been used to house everything from leprosy sufferers to war weapons. See churches, the war memorial, and the archaeological museum to learn more about Italy’s history.

Entertainment

MSCme App didn’t work and we had to keep asking for a paper copy of the information. Reduced staffing means longer waiting times and very busy waiters who forget orders. The outside cabin was cosy but had the smallest shower I have seen on over 10 cruises. The food was very good and the main dining room was lovey.

The ship was clean and the staff friendly. The breakfast food was normally tepid, and the evening buffet did not have much of a choice. This has not been a problem on the bigger MSC ships i. e. Virtuosa and WorldEuropa. The itinerary was good and Istanbul is well worth a visit. The shore excursions had very good guides, though expensive for what was included

Itinerary was our highlight. We were privileged to be able to upgrade to a balcony, being treated as having booked a suite with priority tender tickets. The room was lovely with a walk in wardrobe, ok little things like the silicone hanging off the side off the bath, the strip on the drawers being only held on by one piece of cellotape, these would have made dating less noticeable, some customers would downgrade a rating but the attention of staff in the restaurants, and bars (except pool bars) was great. Pool bars can be a mission, until you realise the system (that's mostly in place). Ultimately we couldn't have visited 4 of our bucket list countries without Lirica, other liners are far more expensive. Food in restaurants was nice, although some days have too many obscure or unappetising options on the list, for some! I'm sure others would relish. Entertainment seemed ok. Shows were ok too. We were pleased to have a balcony as we don't enjoy being in the midst of hustle and bustle.

We travelled Aurea class and had anytime dining for the evening meal. On an Italian cruise the food was mainly directed towards the Italian clientele but with the assistance of the restaurant staff were able to find good food for our British taste. We were equally well served for breakfast and mid day meals. the Salmon and scrambled eggs breakfast were delicious Our cabin was spacious and well equipped. We even had a bath in addition to the shower. Overall the package was great
