We planned the cruise in the middle of our vacation. Hence the cruise was very relaxing and enjoyable. We had visited Italy before the cruise and we stayed in Barcelona a few more days after the cruise. During the cruise, the seven days went by fast as we went on 5 excursions. Every port of call gives us a different taste of the local culture. The excursions are usually 4 to 5 hours leaving us time to come back to the ship for lunch and rest in the afternoon.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Embarkation was fast and easy. We dropped off the luggage from where the taxi left us. The check in was quick and efficient. We were on the boat in less than 40 minutes.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Food is excellent. I like the many special made to order stations in the buffet. I also like having theme nights in the buffet.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
OK, we are not much of an onboard activities person.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Entertainment is first class. We went to a number of concerts. More variety shows would also be nice.
Children's Programs
I did not have any children on board.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
All service personnel were friendly and helpful.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
The two sets of opposing elevators in fore and aft are very confusing. One has to resort to looking at posted signs to find one's room. (Usually with only one set of elevators aft or fore, I know exactly to turn left or right.)
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin is spacious. My only complaint is that the TV is too small and one has to pay to watch movies. I am not sure about the sink on the work table. I got dripping soap and water all over.
Ship tip
Explore every deck as early as possible to determine what you like. There are many things hidden on various decks. It took some exploring to find the jogging trail. I never saw the bowling lanes.
