Review summary

The onboard experience was just wonderful. There was so much great food and wine. We enjoyed having space wherever we went on the ship. The ports of call were all good choices with exception of Casablanca. We also had the opportunity for 3 days in Lisbon pre-cruise and 3 days in Barcelona post-cruise, which were both fantastic cities.

Cabin / Stateroom

The size and layout were fine. The bathroom had enough space. The closet is partly unusable due to the configuration of doors and walls.

Dropped off by shuttle bus and were immediately under siege by local men trying to get us to go on walking or driving tours. We felt very unsafe.
