We chose this cruise as the itinerary appealed to us.....as our first cruise, we didn't want to spend days at sea in case we didn't like it! The itinerary offered us 5 different ports in 6 days so it was ideal. In addition, as we were travelling with our 11 year old daughter, we found the family friendly activities offered onboard appealing.

When we first arrived at Barcelona Port to embark we found it overwhelming! However, the staff were extremely helpful and the directions/instructions were extremely clear. The process, whilst time consuming, was smooth and faultless.

On boarding the ship you are overwhelmed by it's size and in awe of the facilities available. It was everything we had expected and then some! After 1pm we were able to go to our cabin.....having seen the rest of the ship we were a little disappointed at first but mainly due to it's size - small! However, it was extremely clean and had everything we needed and as time went on, we realised that the size was suffificent for our needs - we didn't spend a great deal of time in the cabin anyway! Our statement room attendant Joe was fantastic - always smiling and nothing was too much trouble - he was extremely creative with towel art too! Read more
