The iberian intrigue cruise was not as great as we hoped. The first day a passenger had a minor accident and the Captain turned around to Barcelona for eight hour delay. This was the jist of the trip constant delays . On the excursions as inconsiderate passengers failed to return to the buses. Again holding up departures. Highpoints were stops at Valencia and Cartegena where we could stroll to the sights On our own. OuT of Vigo we took bus to Santiago where a magnifcent lunch at the Parador can dull the pain of the lousy bus service provided. So, we get to Cherbourg in Force 9 winds and get stuck there by weather, missing Belgium stop altoger as a result. Now we had 2 1/2 days at sea to catch up with the excellent beverage package provided. 15 drinks a day can keeo you pretty numb!
This was a unique itinerary that allowed us to get to the Normandy Beaches and see Stonehenge and embrace the tomb of the apostle St. James. I would do it again if HA ran it later in year!
