My Husband and I are in our early 40's and this was my 17th cruise. We were originally booked on the April 26th cruise that was cancelled due to the ship not being ready. We are so happy we re-booked for August. What a perfect cruise. Also found out once onboard that we had $150 room credit for taxes, so a nice surprise for us!
We spent 1 day prior in Barcelona and stayed at the Hotel Espana (excellent hotel and location off La Ramblas) and walked with our luggage down to the Christopher Columbus monument and caught blue shuttle bus on the right side to get to the port (2 euros pp). So convenient. Check in literally took 5 minutes. We carried bottles of wine and vodka. They never checked. In fact, at ever port stop, we brought bottles of liquor and wine back, and they let us bring back to our room.
Room: #7205 mid ship interior, perfect for us. A very quiet room with enough space for our belongings. Perfect position as everything is 2 floors up or 2 floors down.
Perfect location midship. Everything is 2 floors up or 2 floors down.
