Review summary

BARCELONA needs to be boycotted by all Cruise ship lines!!! Theft is very high, 3 passengers stolen from. Guest services very impartial. Said we should have known about theft, not their responsibility. They couldn't help. Not one post to passengers of DANGER!!!! Second. Very transient ship. Picks up new Passengers at Genoa, Marseilles ports. Like a cruising Ferry! New flow of guests constantly which makes guests very weary!!!! RCL didn't notify us of hop on, hop off status of ports nor the danger to us in Barcelona.

Sorry to read thatthreepassengers were experienced theft in Barcelona.  It is a big city and passengers always have to be aware of their surroundings.  Even if the ship had warn you, it probably still would have happened.  I think that it was unfare to blame the ship.  I can understand though how upset the passengers were.  It probably ruined their trip.  

 

Actually I like the flexibility of being able to get on and off at different ports.  We had this on my Norway trip.  

 

At at least you liked your cabin and the quality of the ship.  We will be in Provence, France.  I hope that I enjoy it as much as you did.  I also hope that your next cruise is a safer experience for you.  Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us.  We are now forewarned about Barcelona, one of my very favorite cities in the world.  Gloria
