Norwegian Spirit 12 Night Grand Mediterranean May 10-22, 2012

There were 4 of us in our party. We flew from Minneapolis to Paris and then on to Venice. We upgraded to the economy comfort seats on Delta and they were well worth the extra money. Our flights were on time, but the walk between terminals in Paris (De Gaulle) was extremely long. We are all in our 50's and 60's but if we were in our 80's the walk would have been difficult.

The transfer to the ship and the embarkation went smoothly. We boarded the ship around 1pm and had planned to drop our carry-on luggage in our rooms and then see Venice. We were surprised to find out that there was a mandatory lifeboat drill scheduled for 4:30. This significantly impacted the amount of time that we had in Venice. I have Mediterranean Cruise Ports by Rick Steves and we used it extensively in all the ports we visited.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BB

This cabin had a queen bed and one nightstand, small couch, desk and deskchair. It could be tight at times. The closet and storage shelves were ample. The balcony was fine and it sure made the room feel bigger. The bathroom was the best part. It was divided into 3 sections. One side was a tiled shower with removable showerhead and a sliding door to close it off from the center section that contained the sink and some shelving. The other side had the toilet with a sliding door. The shower section was much larger than the shower stalls you usually get in standard cabins.
