We chose this cruise because we wanted to tour Spain.
We embarked from Southampton after touring London.
After we left the English Channel,the trip was uncomfortable to say the least- the ship rocking from side to side. In our opinion, the ship was too small to make the crossing across the Bay of Biscayne; even in six foot waves and without stormy conditions.
When we first entered the cabin it wreaked of urine. We found that the underside of the toilet was a brownish yellow in color, and this is from where the fowl smell emanated.
At first, the attendant tried to disinfect it-with little success. The seat was promptly replaced however the stench still persisted although somewhat reduced.
The cabin service was somewhat lackluster. I requested 2 boxes of tissues, however they only materialized once during the trip. I had to search for them from the passing supply carts. Also, the birthday decorations and pillow cases (supplied by the ship) remained in the room for 2 days.
The TV programming was very repetitive to the point of boredom.
The glass panels on the balcony rattled continuously throughout the voyage-extremely annoying.
Moreover, it was difficult to maintain a constant cabin temperature.
Lastly, on the positive, the cabin, was a comfortable size as was the bed. It was also quiet. Unfortunately it was a little dated.
