Full disclosure, this was the first cruise for both my boyfriend and myself. We are a young couple in our 20s from Canada who found this cruise at the right price just 2 months before sailing. The itinerary was ideal, which is what drew us to the cruise in the first place. We were not dissapointed! The boat is massive meaning there is so much to see and do. Also, seeing as it was the first cruise of October, the weather was perfect (not scorching) and not a lot of kids running around. We never had any issue finding loungers or felt that the pool/hot tubs/water slides were too crowded.
Embarkation/Disembarkation: Very smooth! No hassle whatsoever.
Cabin:
Great view, very clean. Closer to the aft elevators.
Beach day! We spent the afternoon at PalmaNova beach. Very clean, beautiful views and delicious well-priced restaurants.
Beautiful little city but expensive. Glitz and Glamour sum it up nicely. We wandered the city for a few hours and enjoyed ourselves with a glass of wine on an outdoor terrace before returning to the ship to enjoy the afternoon on the pool deck.
We arrived the day before our cruise and wandered the sights. What a beautiful city! We did see a protest due to the political unrest happening there but we never felt unsafe.
