Review summary

Wonderful cruise! Food was excellent on this cruise. Le Petit Chef at QSINE is a must see for a totally amazing eating experience! And the Tuscan Grille’s food is better than anything you can get on land! Dining room staff went above and beyond to make sure you were happy with the food and the service. Room steward took very good care of us. Room service was right on time every time. The entire crew were friendly and engaging, always speaking politely to everyone, you could tell they liked their jobs and were happy to be there to make our cruise enjoyable. Cabin was smaller than we have had in the past, but the bathroom was larger. Everything was kept spotless by our room steward. We were very well pleased with our service we received. Will definitely do this cruise again!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and Quick. We have been through numerous ports for embarkation and Barcelona is by far the most superior of them all! Check-in was quick and the staff was friendly and helpful. It houses a first class gift shop for all your last minute needs plus a fine collection of wine and spirits for you to purchase to take aboard!

We liked the small size of the ship. Layout was good with everything conveniently located. Crew members worked hard and continuous to keep everything clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was smaller than we have had in the past, but the bathroom was larger. Everything was kept spotless by our room steward. He made sure, per our request, that we had our ice bucket filled twice a day. Made sure we had umbrellas for our rainy days ashore. We were very well pleased with our service we received.

Ship tip

Smile and be nice to the crew. And you will be treated like royalty!!

Love the positive attitude, and especially your tip. You get more with honey than you do with vinegar.
