Review summary
Cruise was a fantastic experience. Food, service, entertainment and cabin were excellent. However, make sure you get a cabin w/out a connecting door (locked or not). We had the family from Hell next door and it took security and the customer services 6 days to get the matter under control, so we could get some sleep! Many excursions far too expensive (we did Rome and Pisa), with a little research Barcelona, Gibraltar, Nice / Monaco, Lisbon & Vigo all fully accessible from the port and easy to do on your own. But DON`T be late back as the ship won`t wait !!Embarkation
