Sail date: April 15, 2015

Ship: Norwegian Spirit

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Family (young children)

Review summary

Ship has a very smart layout and the separation of restaurants bars and other entertainment venues is very well done, so that you don't feel the crowd except at the pool and at the buffet breakfast.  Food in the specialty restaurants was truly exceptional.  Food in the main dining room was OK.

Crew was friendly and helpful if a bit overzealous in distributing disinfectant spray: ,Washy Washy Happy Happy still rings in my ears

Ports were great even if the weather wasn't as warm as we hoped.

Entertainment in the main theater was hit or miss, more misses than hits but the talent in the smaller venues was very good and the settings intimate.

Great vibe to the old city. Cathedral excellent romanesque features with beautiful wooden choir and door closures. Picasso museum like every other picasso museum in Europe, just less complete. Paellla, tortilla, cerveca as good as any in Spain
