Beautiful journey from Venice to Barcelona 2 , NSW, Australia, May 2024
NCL's itinerary from Venice (actually Trieste which is two hours by train from Venice) to Barcelona was great, with port stops every day, which may or may not be too busy for some, but hey, it's a cruise so you can do as little or as much as you want! Favourite places were Dubrovnik (don't miss the fabulous city walls walk!) and surprisingly, Civitavecchia read more (Rome's nearest port), which was a lovely seaside town free from hordes of cruise tourists because most of them went to Rome! The ship (Escape) was quite good compared to some we've been on (Holland America and MSC), and the entertainment was the best out of all the cruises we've done, with one West End-quality show (the raucous Choir of Man) and the others of excellent quality (musical theatre's This One's For You, magician J Alexander, and a juggler/comedian whose name escapes me) but whose budgets were clearly compromised and dwarfed by the Choir of Man's. The food quality on board fluctuated from just average (the complimentary buffet) to the superb (Moderno Churrascaria). Overall it was a very good trip and worth the money especially with all the bonuses given (150min internet, $100 per person ship credit, unlimited drinks package, etc.).
