Second cruise on the Celebrity Reflection. Just as pleased this time as I was last time. First time in Spain, and really enjoyed the ports of call there. Hope to go back some day.

Plenty large enough. Small sitting area inside as well as the balcony. Really enjoyed our balcony. Very clean-bed comfortable.
Ship tip
When the weather is nice go to the Sunset Bar. We found it to be lively before dinner, and since our weather was perfect it was most pleasant to spend time there. Bartenders fun. In the evening check out the martini bar, even if you don't drink. They like to put on a show while making and pouring drinks-fun to watch even if just over club soda. Of course their martinis are very good too.
We did and excursion to Portovenere and Cinque Terre. Loved Portovenere. We also love Cinque Terre but we have been there before and stayed there. If we went again would arrange a different excursion. We were fortunate to be able to do a cruise through Cinque Terre but it was a public boat and we were packed in like sardines on that boat. This made it uncomfortable for some and difficult to see which is the point.
Loved Barcelona, but 2 days not enough time. Went to Montserrat the first day on an excursion which took up most of that day, however, well worth it. Montserrat is unbelievably beautiful. Second day did Barcelona on our own. I look forward to going back to Barcelona some day in the future.
Loved Malaga. Did not do an excursion. It is easy to see the sights here on your own. Stop at tourist information spot when you disembark and they will advise you. Climbed to the castle which gave fantastic views.
Very interesting history here. Did an excursion, City Under Siege. Well worth it to get some of the history of the place. Enjoyed Gibraltar, but don't feel a need to go back.
Liked Ibiza. Good time to be there as it was the end of their tourist season so not very crowded. We took a tour of old town (also called upper town), and this was well worth it. Lots of nice shops and cute restaurants. Our tour was in the morning so this left enough free time in the afternoon to do your own thing.
