Review summary

A 14 Day Cruise.... Definitely a Must! Spain... Maybe if I planned to spend more money it would have been more exciting...

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Long Line, Muster was a Cluster. Tried to show up early, was sent away. Then line moved so slowly in Spain that we missed Muster... I don't like to stand for 3 hours.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

You get what you pay for. Price was right at the Buffet. Nobody Starved.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Science Shows were what I lived for after the first week. No good Comedians like Chaz on this trip. Don't get me started on the ABBA group 🤣, wait, that was another Cruise... Don't remember any talent other than our Cruise Director NAILING IT 🤣🤣🤣

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Kept waiting for a Good Comedian and a Good Band. Hard to change out talent in middle of Ocean. 2 Best shows for me were Science Talks and Cruise Director. Don't Miss the Cruise Director, you will die laughing after 14 days of starving for Talent.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
Didn't see kids around. I Guess they kept them busy and too tired to run the halls at night 🤣

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Always Fantastic service. Can't remember a bad experience anywhere on the ship. OK, just the one thing. That Bar that wouldn't just make a a Pepsi. Alchemy... You get a Turd from me... 💩 I don't care if you only make Alcoholic Drinks... I don't see a Pepsi Machine anywhere on this ship. You know you have one back there somewhere.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Other than a few Rubber Ducks, never saw anything out of place. If it was dirty, it was a passengers fault and was always dealt with promptly.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
A Bed, a Bathroom. What else do you need?

Ship tip

At least you aren't at work 😘. Go Mingle at the Casino already!

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
Glad to verify all Foreigners really do dislike all Foreigners. If you want someone to like you for no reason, get a Dog.. Casino was like visiting a Mafia Back Alley... Didn't know who was about to rob me, but I saw it coming.

Malaga, Spain

5 out of 5
They worked hard to make this a nice place to visit. Spend some money

Valencia, Spain

5 out of 5
Long Walk!!!

Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

5 out of 5
Good luck if you don't plan an excursion. Walking aimlessly just makes it hotter

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Getting off the boat was EZPZ

King's Wharf, Bermuda

5 out of 5
At least do it once! But don't forget to book an excursion! If it ain't Hot, Putt Putt and Beach is closed.

Disembarkation
