yep... there was only a curtain that closed off the bathroom. However, the WC and the Shower had heavily frosted closures. If one is a real privacy freak the bathroom situation would freak them out. Not so much for us. There are lots of chatter on cruise pages about the quirky bathrooms on the ship.
The design of the room with curved walls afford all sorts of space. The bed is high enough to hide suitcases underneath, the sofa cushions can be removed to uncover a large storage spaces, and cabinets/closets are everywhere.
Here is a pretty good tour of the room: Link:
Epic Balcony RoomOur room was much like this with the major difference that our balcony was twice the size. Half of it being covered and half exposed to the sun.
Our Complaints about the room -
Lighting could be much better, especially over the sink.
Minimum power receptacles, but we always travel with a power strip so the issue minimized.
The thought between the cruise company and the Italian government was to minimize the flood of humanity off one of these ships on a small town.
So if you go to Italy on your own you have free pass anywhere with your COVID Vaccination Card, but they limited 2000 folks just showing up one morning. Understand... but a little disappointing.
As for France, most of the retail is closed on Monday's. They work on Saturday and deserve a two day weekend. The souvenir shops, some restaurants/bars, and grocery stores are open (sometimes reduced hours), but for the most part it is a quiet day.
Hope to get next day up soon.
