This was my first ever cruise and I quite enjoyed it. Embarkation from Barcelona was easy and it only took us ten minutes to get on the ship. Upon boarding, we got lunch from the Jadé/Windjammer buffet and enjoyed it well. Room on deck seven, shared with my sister and grandma, was a wee bit small, but in comparison, next door was my father and his second wife (born from his first wife, by the way), and their room was pretty cramped.
Sailing got a little bumpy.
There were some nice dinner options in the dining room. The food was a bit on the fancy side. Perhaps more so in Portofino, which is a premium restaurant, but I did not enjoy that place as much.
As afore mentioned, the room was a bit small, but not too small. It can get a bit noisy on tn the Promenade, so if you're one for sleeping at night prior to 22:30, this is the sort of room you want to avoid.
