This being only my second cruise, with a balcony this time, I was pleasantly surprised how spacious it was. Plenty of closet and storage space an overall well layed out.
Excursion: Marbella & Puerto Bantus. It was a very nice walking tour in Marbella, which was lovely. We then drove to Puerto Banks - a beautiful seaside resort with fabulous yachts.
Excursion: Rome on your own. The coach took us just outside the Vatican. From there we purchased a hop-on-hop-off tour that did not even provide a map of the various stops. I was not impressed! We did not stay on for long and decided to walk, and walk we did. We had lunch in Piazza Navona, walked in front of the Pantheon, continued to the Trevi Fountain, then to the Spanish Steps and ended up at Piazza del Popolo. There we sat and enjoyed a glass wine then took a taxi back to the Vatican for our return trip to the ship.
We stayed in Barcelona on La Rambla for three nights pre-cruise. It is a beautiful city. We purchased the 48 hour Bus Turistic and saw everything you could possibly see. They have a red, blue and green line. We took the red an blue. Parc Guell was great.
Found the disembarkation frustrating. We purchased transfers to the airport - never again. My mother missed her flight to Tampa and I nearly missed mine back to Canada. I would take a taxi next time.
