Review summary

Our Very 1st cruise and can honestly say we were so delighted we have already booked a further NCL cruise for later in the Year,from the time we arrived at port to the time we left the ship ( in tears ) we were treated like royalty. Food choice,restaurants and bars were fully staffed and service was impeccable. The Balcony cabin (9020) was kept to a very clean standard by our room steward (Joel ) and the public areas are so clean and a credit to NCL . I would highly Recommend this cruise although Sadly the NCL is going on the European Cruises from Barcelona

Tender took about 3 hours and once you get there its just a sandy beach . the sea looks inviting but if you go take shoes for swimming as it's very rocky in places

Continuing...concerns regarding safety. We felt pretty safe because we had a local tour guide and there were no major issues last year at the time of our cruise. I hope you have a wonderful time.

Continuing...another day there. We rented a 4 bedroom apartment for three nights from VRBO right off of Las Ramblas. It was perfect and very reasonable. I could go on and on about all that we did. We booked private tour guides in Italy and Turkey and they were excellent and more reasonable than NCL's primarily because we were a group of 8. The Turkey ports have been changed because of safety

We were 4 couples on the Barcelona to Venice cruise last May. It was awesome. Le Bistro and Cagney's are not to be missed. You should make reservations before you leave to be assured that you get the days and times that you prefer. The cruise is really about the itinerary. The ports are wonderful. We loved Barcelona and although we had 2 1/2 days there on the front end, we wish we had at least

Love your NCL Spirit comment and thank you for sharing your room number. My husband and I will be one of those lucky individuals who will be taking the European Cruises from Barcelona in the very near future.
