This was our third westbound crossing on the Voyager so this review will mostly deal with the shipboard experience since we had been to all the ports before. I'll be glad to answer any questions about the ports from previous cruises. We are in our mid-60's and have done over 30 cruises over the years.

We flew in a day early and stayed at the Hotel Continental where many cruisers were staying both for our voyage and two or three other ships that were in port. While the hotel is certainly not the Four Seasons, it is clean, reasonably priced (95 euro), convenient (on Las Ramblas), easy to get to from the airport via a bus, free food, wine, beer, etc., and about a 17 euro taxi ride to the pier. The rooms are small with an elevator about the size of a telephone booth but it works. Decorating is inspired by hot pink and florals. They have a "sister" hotel a couple of blocks away from Las Ramblas that is a little nicer but is around 35 euro more.

Embarkation was quick and easy. They have a duty free shop AFTER you put your carry-ons through the scanner which sells alcohol. I had heard that another check of bags would be made prior to getting on the ship but it wasn't in our case.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin E1

Our cabin (7250) was on the Voyager of the Seas. Near the forward elevators. Straight shot down to the Promenade Cafe, Cleopatra's Lounge, theater balcony, Schooners, casino, and Aquarium Bar. Looks really close to the elevators but is around the corner from them and we had no disturbance because of the elevators or the people getting on/off of them. Previously we had been on Deck 6 and the balcony front railing was solid steel. These balconies had glass above about three feet of steel which put more light in the cabin. This balcony had solid walls on both sides rather than a solid wall and a partition which we have had in the past. In our opinion, more privacy.
