Our Itinerary was Flight to Palma Majorca - Day at Sea - Palermo Sicily - Naples Italy - Sardinia - Toulon France - Barcelona Spain - Palma Majorca. [Palma is not on the drop-down list of embarkation ports!].
The Spirit was built in the mid 1980's for Holland North America line, and despite some extensive upgrading, is now old-fashioned and a bit tired compared to our two previous cruise vessels MSC Lirica & MSC Orchestra. On the other hand, there was much more public space and open deck space than is common on the new large cruise ships, and the cabin was very roomy with lots of wardrobe space etc. Unfortunately, we were on deck 3 forward, so only had a port-hole which was 4' away from the cabin.
The general standard of catering was superb. The restaurant and bar staff were generally excellent. The entertainment was superb - much better than MSC which we had thought was good anyway. We paid for the all-inclusive drinks package, and I can assure everyone that this was superb value for money - I am ashamed to say we probably consumed twice the drinks cost during the course of our visit. We enjoyed the cocktails particularly.
