Review summary

Best cruise ever. . Lots of places to see and do. The ports that we toured were amazing. Excursion tours in every port with a variety of minimum city tours to full day tours. Never been in the Western Mediterranean. Food were amazing. Historical areas are still in tact from centuries past. the Ship provided your hotel and majority of the your dining. Ship does not feel like we were in the water. Incredible themes in almost every floor. A Central Park and a Boardwalk was extra to most regular ship. Dreamworks characters was great for the ship. None stop activities if you can last.  Can't wait for the next cruise in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Had children next door was not good with all the noise. It was a connecting cabin so we can hear them clearly.

Ship tip

Make sure you bring extra clothes for activities until your main luggage arrives. Make every effort to look at the activities schedules and reserve all shows ahead of time. Reserve dining facility ahead of time.

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

Be ready to explore the city. Hop on Hop off bus is pretty good for just going around the city. the Metro is pretty good to get around.

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

3 out of 5
Its an Island but not enough time to do everything. Hop on Hop off bus is pretty good for just going around the city

This one of my favorite ships.  There is so much to do onboard.  Your itinerary sounds wonderful.
