Review summary

Just come off the 14 day cruise round the Med on Sapphire Princess. A lovely way to spend two weeks. Rather bumpy on Day 1 but I love this and then very hot indeed on all the port days. We were to arrive in Barcelona at lunchtime but due to a medical emergency we arrived by 9.00am. Why could this earlier arrival not have been included in the first place? Overall the Sapphire is a very friendly ship indeed with great waiting staff and a good atmosphere in general. The new mattresses and bedding are superb additions but the cabins are now slightly dated and could do with some TLC. But they are good so don't be put off by this comment. The port destinations were fine and all worth visiting. The only negatives I have are the usual - sort out the wifi - in this day and age it is far too expensive. I was actually happy not to have any connection except in ports but I cannot help but feel that cruise companies are missing a trick by their over-pricing of the internet as many of the guests then don't communicate on Facebook etc and so the free publicity the cruise lines could get does not happen. The casino was spectacularly empty almost the whole time and the relentless selling of paintings and jewellery was ignored by most seasoned travellers. The positives were much more - good food on the whole and plenty to do if you wanted it, for example. Overall, I would sail on this ship again and much of this is down to the good nature of the ordinary day to day staff who were so efficient and friendly. Well done, Guys! Disembarkation was a shambles - we were an hour late getting off as were many others. Embarkation was slick and well organised.
