the cruise was below previous standards, you now need to prebook everything from meals to entertainment and all meals were on freedom dining so no choice. first port of call was Gibraltar for a short time then sea day before going to Malaga which is only a few sea miles and arrived on a national holiday so everything was closed. better organisation would have arrived a day earlier and then a sea day. best stop was Cadiz and the excursion to Seville was excellent but again you need to prebook visit to emperor palace/gardens or cathedral or you wont get in as always fully booked.
accommodation was ok but lacked cabins bits – no conditioner, no slippers or bathrobes, no face clothes, no water and now you have to pay for in cabin breakfast as a service charge. we were on Arvia two years ago and all this has changed in that time
