My wife and I chose this cruise on the recommendation from friends to join them. It was an amazing experience. The shore excursions where the highlight for us as it was our first time in Europe. I had no idea what history awaited us in Seville, Spain. Visiting the Tomb of Chrisopher Columbus was an experience we will never forget. My wife was overwhelmed with the religious history at the cathedral in Seville. The next day walking amoung the apes at the top of Gibralter was another day of rich memories that we will share for a lifetime. Walking the streets of old Barcelona was a fun and enriching experience. The Norwegian staff could not have been more friendly. The food was excellent. I had one of the best meals of my life at Cagney's Steakhouse on board. On a 15 day cruise I didn't expect to run out of time to explore everything on the ship but we did. All in all it was a great value for an amazing adventure.
