This cruise was right up there with the Panama Canal cruise from Miami to LA and the cruise from Santiago Chile, astound Cape Horn, with stops in the Falkland Islands and Uruguay. It ended in Buenos Aires.

5 out of 5
All were so pleasant and accommodating
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship is older and will get a complete over haul after the new year, but crew constantly working to keep it clean and in good shape. There were a couple of instances of sewer odors in the hall, and on deck. When we had it in our toilet area, they responded quickly and solved the issue.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin clean, but a bit tight. Also felt the side thruster vibrations more than on previous ships with cabin in similar location.
Ship tip
Wouldn't do a side trip in Cannes as would have been fun to explore the cute town. Also didn't do one in Split, Croatia as there was much to see there.
Montserrate and Barcelona, very nice despite the protesters blocking some streets. Guide was constantly on the phone to see how to reroute the bus to avoid the protesters
Yes Pisa and Florence on your own, but ship provided the bus-both towns ready to do on your own, but would get better map of Florence than the one provided. We ended yup turning on a phone to get back to pick up point.
Yakitori and trip to Kia, with lunch and free time in Fira. Only disappointed was the lunch-delicious, but roast chicken and potatoes. Would have preferred something more ethnic-even a gyro on the street would have been better.
