Last minute cruisers out of Civitavecchia since we live near Rome and we love the ports of call in this Western Med cruise(plus a new one for us, Almeria Spain.)
Spirit is small and you can become well acquainted with or hide out from folks, love that we knew our dining room wait staff well and became friends with some folks we first met in the hot tub, because we saw them again so often! We enjoyed meeting the officers at the cruise critic meet and greet, Spirit staff really are a family and I appreciate the reminder to let them know if we need anything immediately at the beginning of the cruise don’t wait to say at the end everything was good BUT...
We bid and received a balcony upgrade room 11506, was quiet, clean and cozy, excellent cabin service by Sesato from India! He greeted us daily with a
Bit slow waiting our turn to embark Norwegian needs to follow MSC embarkation and do it all online so no line just go to your cabin to get your key and ago to kiosk at your leisure the first few days to register your credit card, wonderful!
Easy to walk off, nice long stop!
Both towns lovely great Sicilian guide and driver, perfect and only $100 for 2 people for 6 hours, smaller bus used than that of cruise ship tour too!
Too short of time at port to do more than see tValletta the ship parked so far away could not walk off as usual had to be taken to shore yuck
Love Malaga lots to see here
Our fave we walked off easily went up to the fort about 20 minute slow walk and saw the cathedral was quiet Sunday in Almeria no shops open! But lovely day
Walked off ship and to town was nice til it rained a bit
Too far from town to walk so city offers free shuttle near port but Spirit did not tell us they sold tickets for their $15 shuttle, poor service and not well done NCL!
Walked off when we wanted took our suitcases with us was easy caught cab to airport 39euros!
