Additional details
We chose this cruise to relax after doing a Trafalgar bus tour through Europe.
Embarkation was easy. As we had a mini-suite, we had priority boarding and were lead through to a separate area to wait for our turn to board. We didn't have to wait very long and the check-in process was easy as we had completed most of the information online before we left home.
We had a Club Class Mini-suite (Aloha deck room 422). Although this cabin has the Skywalk above it, it is impossible to see into the cabin and you can only see the balcony from the Skywalk if you bend down to the handrail level. We didn't find that there were that many people who walked along the Skywalk anyway and we at no time felt that our privacy was invaded. The cabin itself was spacious with plenty of storage and hanging space. The balcony could have been a bit bigger but we found it adequate for our needs. It was also nice to have a separate sitting area apart from the bed. There was a shower over a bath in the bathroom and we found the bathroom a reasonable size for a cruise ship.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
Spacious cabin which was very comfortable. We didn't have any problems with privacy from the Skywalk above. You couldn't see into the cabin from there and the only time you could see onto the balcony was if you bent down to the handrail level. It was nice having a separate area to sit away from the bed. There was plenty of storage and hanging space. The bathroom was a reasonable size for a cruise ship and had a shower over a bathtub. The balcony was a bit on the small size but adequate for our needs.
Port Reviews
Kotor
Loved walking through the Old Town of Kotor. I'm not sure that there is a lot more to see there than the town but we enjoyed it.
Athens (Piraeus)
This was where we embarked on the cruise. Loved our few days in Athens before we embarked though. I would like to go back sometime.
Barcelona
This is where we disembarked. Loved our few days in Barcelona after the cruise though....fantastic place!
