Review summary

Lots of 8- 10 hour tours nearly every day. Most were rated strenuous. It was off season, but the excursions were not adjusted to reflect that the shops were closed.

Liked Sette Mare the best

Onboard Activities

Only points given to top three places. So with 20 to 30 participants, most of us got no points. Cheap attitude by RSSC

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Would be better if shows started 15-30 minutes earlier.

Barcelona, Spain

Chocolate factory tour was excessively long. Really just a stop to buy overpriced chocolate. Cava tour was detailed down to the cap used on the bottle. The winery guide spoke in Catalan and the tour guide then translated into English.
