Sail Date: Aug 2012
Cabin: Deluxe Ocean View

Arrival: Getting to the port in Barcelona was very easy via taxi. We arrived at 11:30 and the lines were already long. The whole process from arrival to getting on the ship probably took about an hour.

Room: We were on Deck 1, Midship Oceanview. Our room was great as far as noise is concerned. On other cruises, it was always so loud when we arrived in a port, but this room was very quiet. The only issue with the room was how far it was to the forward elevators. Our dining room and a lot of the other activities we wanted to do were located on the forward section of the ship. I felt like I was constantly walking down that long hallway of rooms. Our cabin steward was very nice and we had no other issues with the room.

Dining: Guy's Burgers are seriously the best burgers I've ever had. I don't know what makes them so good, but they are. Blue Iguana Cantina was also great. We usually did Lido for breakfast (around 8 AM or so) and while crowded, we never had to wait in a long line or wait for a table. The same goes for lunch (usually around 12:30). The only times we ever really had to wait was to get a drink. The drink stations were poorly designed in that the juice/lemonade/tea dispenser is right next to the ice/water dispenser, so only one person at a time can really use that space). We had Your Time Dining in Sapphire and in general, it was excellent. Service was always friendly. We were in a different section each night and most were pretty quick with service, but we did have a rather long wait in a few sections.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Ocean View

Cabin 6M

1366. Quiet, nice having two bathrooms, plenty of closet space. Only negative was how far it was away from the forward elevators/stairs which we found ourselves needing to use the most.
