Review summary

Overall it was a great cruise. Really liked the Canary Islands and Barcelona. I would consider going back to Barcelona and using it as a hub to see other Spanish cities. For just relaxing, the Canary Islands would be a great place to go. The cruise was a great way to sample all the different ports.

Buffet was ok. Main dining room was better and the specialty restaurants were really good.

Onboard Activities

Didn't really do much because of the time of year. Fitness center was quite good.

Entertainment

Most of the entertainment was good. Except for the "illusionist". I was not impressed by his performance at all.

Did not use. Didnt have any kids with us.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was a bit small but the shower seemed to be a little bigger than in other ships we've been on. Overall it was cozy.

If you don't eat a big breakfast, go to the Blue Lagoon for pastries and coffee.
