Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Well laid out, in general very clean and tidy. But it is now showing its age and l believe it’s going in for a refit.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin E703 clean, comfortable and well laid out, but a refurb wouldn’t go a miss.

Ship tip

If you play scrabble bring your own, we couldn’t find one onboard but we had our own.

Ports of call

Cadiz (Spain)

4 out of 5
Go to the Cathedral.

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
So much to see and do, visit the Mercado de la Boqueria which can be reached on foot as it’s close to the port, head up La Rambla (it’s free to do)

Florence/Pisa

4 out of 5
Take a walk along the canals at Livorno

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
Take a walk along the promenade if you don’t go to Rome

Cartagena, Spain

4 out of 5
Visit the castle. Take the land train tour only 7€

Gibraltar (U.K.)

4 out of 5
Take a taxi up the rock arrange it yourself £30. Cable car 🚠 can have lots of people queuing on busy days, you could have trouble getting back down and miss your ship.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We were late docking due to an unscheduled emergency stop into Vigo, but it was handled very well
