We were on for 3 weeks (3 cruises in 1). Although we loved it, it was really intense. We had 17 excursion days and very minimal at sea days. My kids had a blast though and we thoroughly enjoyed showing them so many countries. The ship, staff, and food were phenomenal as always. Everyone knew our 2 kids by name and took really good care of them, which I appreciated it immensely.

Barcelona Port is bigger than we realized, but shuttles were there and Princess always does a great job getting everyone on board quickly.

We prefer the back of the ship usually, but this was a free upgrade. Room worked for the four of us perfectly. A little far from laundry, MDR, kids’ center, etc…, but we got extra steps and stairs in.
We weren’t taken at our scheduled excursion time, held us in the theater. Tender took way too long, then no buses for our excursion to the beach. My kids were not happy sitting on the heat in a parking lot. Beach was beautiful once we got there, but time was way too short.

I honestly don’t remember what room we had to start, we prefer the aft of the ship so I know it was somewhere there. This one was more forward, it was still lovely.
Thanks for the review. That sure was an intense itinerary you chose. It must have been great but probably exhausting also. What cabin did they “upgrade” you from? Often the free “upgrade” is actually a worse location.
