I shall try to be helpful to new cruisers. We flew into Barcelona and stayed for 2 nights to sight-see; more time would have been good. Booking/checking in was a breeze, although like airports it take time. Security is an issue and everyone and everything is checked through a scanner when you come back aboard or check in. There is a card system which is a cabin key and a sales cheque verifier. I.e. you carry no cash.
Cabin was good, excellent beds, clean and had all we needed inc sockets, apart from tea and coffee facilities. Our steward was great. In fact all of the staff were very good. The ship is not large so we are informed. It takes a while to get your bearings it is so large. Even then you have to look at the well posted maps of the ship.
Gripes only a few.
11535 was very good. No noise and VG steward. Toilet blocked elsewhere and this affected ours. On the whle very satisfied.
