Additional details

Sail Date: Nov 2010

Boarding from 16.00 in Barcelona; got on board about 17.00 to find safety briefing was at 16.30! Missed it!

Hi Tech TV in cabin ... took 2 days to get names on it correct!

Moving map (ch. 29) and ship log ... interspersed with adverts for shore excursions in Barcelona ... days ago and not updated! Clock on ships log frequently wrong; Dinner sitting ... doors closed 15 mins after sitting time - so they said! When one of your table travellers is 45 mins late, and meals for other 6 are delayed, then rushed by maitre 'd to hurry up to get out for next sitting - why have rules? Gaudi bar area - no children allowed say the signs ... but they were and noone took action!

Cabin Review

Cabin 10

Larger than expected; really deep cleaned and perfect; well maintained by steward; good bathroom. Not a single creak or groan from structure through some quite rough seas. HiTec TV ... but ship didn't update info on moving map channel and didn't even put the clock right! Excursion adverts were for past ports - again, as noone bothered to update the system!
