Additional details

Sail Date: May 2017
Cabin: Mid-Ship Inside

We chose this cruise for the time of year (our anniversary) and the location (Mediterranean with several ports of call that were new to us).

Embarkation was disorganized, but that might just have been Barcelona rather than any reflection on NCL.

The ship was generally good, but the furnishings are looking a bit worn and weren't top quality to begin with.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Inside

The cabin was a bit smaller than some, but well laid out and had a real shower door rather than a curtain. The refrigerator (for minibar service) was handy to have and the safe was larger than some we have run into.

Port Reviews

Barcelona

Barcelona was very nice, but didn't live up to the hype. Nice to walk around.

Valencia

Nice little city with lots of interesting places to walk. Just took the city bus from the port to the city center.

Cartagena (Spain)

We took the excursion to the Palm Forrest and enjoyed it. Had time to walk into the town from the port afterwards. They were having a local festival with many ladies dressed in Flamenco style dresses. Made some areas crowded, but interesting to see.

Malaga

Walked into town and enjoyed the street scene. Also had interesting archaeological/historical sights.

Katakolon (Olympia)

Not much in Katakolon other than shops and restaurants.

Santorini

We hiked up and down the donkey trail and enjoyed walking through Fira. We had been there before, so didn't need to see Oia or Akrotiri this visit.
