We chose this cruise mainly because it departed from Malaga which is a short drive from our home
We boarded Norwegian Spirit on 29th November for a 9 night cruise, approximately 300 guest boarded in Malaga the majority of passengers joined at our next stop in Barcelona. The check in was a bit of a shambles as there was a problem with the internet connection between the ship and the terminal which was making the who process rather slow.
Norwegian Spirit is the oldest ship in the Norwegian fleet and its interior is a bit dated and showing its age in some areas, however the staff work hard on board to maintain it’s cleanliness and appearance.
Our cabin was a balcony cabin on Deck 9, which was smaller than any other balcony cabin we had experienced on other ships and there was a lack of storage space, this wasn’t helped by the fact that there were 3 of us in the cabin however we felt that even if there had been only two of us the cabin would have still been short of usable storage, the bathroom was clean bright and well cared for although again no storage space, only small shelves above the sink and when the seas became choppy everything fell of the shelves . The cabin was however well cared for by Renan our stateroom attendant and we certainly didn’t let the size of the cabin spoil our cruise, it is just something we would keep in mind when packing for our next cruise on Norwegian Spirit.
