Visited relatives in Barcelona, and chose to return to USA via repositioning cruise. Great choice, Cruise was super especially the attentive and friendly service of ship's staff. Our cabin was very spacious and accommodating for all purposes, and the balcony was good sized: a real plus! We will do this again! Dining was excellent--we chose formal, but sampled other venues. The casino was well used by us, a downer was that that there was insufficient non smoking space allocated in our opinion. The enrichment lecture program was excellent, interesting and very informative.

The only port visit other than Barcelona for us was the Azores. We had visited on a previous cruise, but still found places we had not explored previously. It would be worthwhile to set up a shuttle from the ship to the city, as it is quite a walk and taxis do not frequent the port area in our experience.

Disembarkation in Fort Lauderdale was smooth. We chose the Express Check wherein baggage goes from your cabin door onto the airlines and to your final destination for a small extra fee, Worked flawlessly and well worth it.
