After some time in Barcelona, a wonderfully exciting and interesting city, we took a taxi from our hotel to the pier. The embarkation was the easiest we have encountered. The ship was clean and already beginning to look a lot like Christmas, with the huge Christmas tree in the center of the Promenade Deck. Ports were interesting, sea days were great, and we enjoyed the shows. The Broadway Music by the ship's singers and dancers was terrific, ice show was good, and we adored the young musical impersonator, Sean O' Shay. He was totally captivating and his show was sooo enjoyable. We met so many old and new cruise friends. Food is always an issue with many people, but it is not our priority. We found it adequate to good, not superior. Of course, Portafino's and Johnny Rocket's are always nice alternatives. We love the RCI ships. They are pretty and their layout is easy with which to become acquainted. This was a totally wonderful cruise. Transatlantic cruises on a Voyager Class ships are the best!
