Review summary

I really enjoyed the staff (with a few exceptions) and was grateful for the experience! We laughed and relaxed and got to see some beautiful places. It was not the best food and there were a lot of unexpected charges, but I'm grateful I did it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was extremely easy to do!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
There were a good amount of options and some of the food was really good. Some was so so.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
The jogging track was a huge disappointment, especially because they allowed people to block it. That meant I was dodging people. The pools were OK, but the jacuzzis were not very warm and often full.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
It was nothing amazing, but some of them made us laugh.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Most of the people were absolutely amazing! They were so kind and fun and made the trip.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was well maintained, but in the age of COVID, it was not very COVID-friendly. If that is a worry, then don't do it.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was clean. It was small but not so tiny that we couldn't fit or felt claustrophobic. Also, there were a lot of drawers for things so that helped.

Ship tip

We had a lot of fun getting to know the staff. I would recommend doing some of the onboard activities, like the gameshows, because that was where we laughed a lot.

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
I loved Barcelona and would go back!

Sete (Carcassonne), France

5 out of 5
I thought it was an adorable little place. Not huge but a cute city and easy to walk around.

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

2 out of 5
We did the Caves excursion and the caves themselves were beautiful! The actual trip was a major disappointment, though. Most of it was on a bus. Very little time to actually see things and a 5 hour trip over lunch with no meal provided.

Cartagena, Spain

5 out of 5
This is a really small city but cute. Fun to just see and take some pictures.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It was somewhat confusing.
