I chose this cruise as a winter sun break on a ship I enjoy. Things didn't go well from before I left. My printer blew up as I was printing my documents, it snowed hard a few hours before my taxi was due and I had a message from the taxi company in Barcelona that because of a strike they would not pick me up from the airport, all this before I had left home.
Fortunately I got to Barcelona and was able to get to the hotel and then to the port.
Embarkation was it's normal boring self but we got on fairly quickly.
