I'm an experienced traveler, having traveled to Europe about a dozen times, but have never cruised the Mediterranean and have only ever been on one cruise before. That being said, when asked to go on this trip with a friend, I was at first skeptical. If I was going to be in Europe, I wanted to be on land. I didn't want to waste time on a cruise ship when I could be soaking up the culture and sights of the wonderful places in Europe.

Needless to say - I was blown away by one of the most fabulous vacations that I have ever taken.

To begin with - we stayed in Barcelona for one night both pre and post cruise. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who could do it. This gave us a chance to see a wonderful city full of sights and charm and to catch our breath before and after a very busy cruise. Recommendation: the Hotel Montecarlo on La Rambla - excellent hotel and excellent location - right in the heart of everything. We did the HOHO bus, walked La Rambla, visited the Gaudi sights, walked the Barri Gotic, saw a flamenco show, and went to the Picasso museum - all fabulous. Stop in Escriba at 83 La Rambla for hot chocolate and a pastry.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Veranda 2C

Cabin 2C

cabin 6156 - fabulous.

The beds are by the doors. The balcony is huge!

The cabin is extremely spacious.

There is so much room in the bathroom that we didn't even use all of the storage (2 women friends traveling together)
