This is a small ship with just 352 passengers which made for a friendly house party atmosphere. The cabin was more spacious than I expected with plenty of storage space. There was a mini fridge and the TV set also had a facility to play DVDs which could be borrowed from the library at no extra cost and little extras like bath robe and binoculars.
There were very knowledgable lecturers on board and this is a special feature of the Spiirit cruises.
There was also an artist aboard giving very enjoyable water colour lessons to those who wanted.
A choice of two shore excursions each day was included in the price and a shuttle bus was laid on in some ports (Barcelona and Palma for example) if you just wanted to do your own thing. In other ports (e.g. Valletta and Minorca) you could just walk of the ship and you found yourself in the centre of things.
The entertainment was good and varied for such a small ship. We had singers, dancers, a magician as well as the resident classical trio and an excellent small orchestra a nd pianist. The Filipino crew put on an excellent sho and on some occasions local entertainer were brought aboard.
There were two restaurants - a formal dining room and a self service one. There was a very good choice of food in both and the standard of food and the service was very good.
The Captain and all the crew were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.
I would certainly sail with this ship again.
