NCL Spirit - Barcelona to Venice
July 5, 2014
When planning and preparing this wonderful vacation for my family, I relied heavily on CruiseCritic and TripAdvisor as my main sources of information. This is my attempt to help others who are (like I was) looking for some reasonable assistance/guidance/opinions as they plan their trip of a lifetime. I tried to steer away from silly comments like "the bed was too firm" or "the coffee was too strong". Those are personal preferences and, in my opinion, not helpful. So I hope that my scribbles help you discover a trip that you will truly enjoy as much as we did.
Good advise, since we spent little time in our cabin during the day on this excursion driven cruise. I would suggest a balcony stateroom over an inside room. I think twelve days in a closet would be too much but the choice is yours. We slept with the balcony doors open on most nights. The fresh sea air was wonderful. Travel tip...bring a bar of soap if you prefer that over soft soap. And, a small power bar would be smart to bring if you have many electronics to charge since there is only one outlet in the room.
