Bridge sheltering our cabin a little

Decided on going into the sun for one week in February during the winter. We were looking for several land options but the cruise sounded actually better as you can see more destinations. We booked via a tour operator which also included airfare and transfers, so in all the package with also the Pullmantur "all inclusive" made this offer a great bargain!

Embarkation can be hectic, in spite of pre-registration, you still need to sign forms. Funny as even the health declaration is forwarded via email to you, so all the nitty-gritty details can be done at home.

Yes, the ship is 30 years old design, it is still a nice ship to sail on. There is maintenance and carpets have been refreshed amongst other things, but it is not sparkling new ship.

Cabin Review

Cabin Balcony

Cabin is ok, bed can not be split into two singles, view great and the nearby bridge ensures that there is wind on the balcony. Very quiet cabin due to its location, but walls are thin (hear coughing of neighbours).

Plenty of storage space and 2 European plugs and one American.

Bathroom is shower and size is ok for an old fashioned cabin.

Balcony has metal front but did not bother us.

We heard that cabins on the aft aound deck 6 are noisy due to the disco (closing at 2am).

Port Reviews

Agadir

Agadir has not much to offer to our expectations and so we booked a hotel's spa for treatments and enjoyed the dining room (Hotel Riad Villa Blance). We also visited the market in the morning. As there is always a lot of 'hassling' around taxi drivers to get your business, we decided that our hotel provided us a taxi and it felt more relaxed.
