Review summary

Our favorite part of the cruise was being able to just relax for 14 days. This was our first transatlantic sailing and we loved it. The time went by fast. The ports of call were all beautiful even if the weather didn't always cooperate. The food was excellent and the service was exceptional.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was very clean and we felt like we had enough room. The bathroom was small but that is generally the case on cruise ships unless you can afford a suite.

Ship tip

We booked our time dining for the same time each night and were able to sit at the same table and have the same wait staff each night. Definitely worth the time to do this. Although it would have been nice to do it all online. I had to call and have help.

We arrived a day before the cruise and were glad we did as it made it a more relaxed boarding.

We loved going to the Fort but wished we would have had more time to spend there. The excursion we were on only gave us 45 minutes.

Ponta Delgada, Azores Did not visit port

Our excursion was excellent. We chose a van rather than a bus tour. Our guide took us to places a bus could not get to and we saw more sites.

Barcelona, Spain Did not visit port

We loved spending a couple of extra days in Barcelona. We just wish it could have been longer!

Do you know if there is a chapel on board? We would like to attend a mass or at least a service since we will be at sea on a Sun. Thanks!
