Great cruise, verandah is best, lots of ship photos and tours and hotels here.

It's a recent 12 night but has many of the same ports.

Summer 17 opens in March.

We were in a Cat 6A on the Magic for the 11-night Norway/Iceland/Scotland cruise last year and it was really nice. We were on deck 6, but I believe there are some on deck 7 as well (maybe deck 5?). Those staterooms are aft in the ship, so a really quick climb of the stairs or elevator ride to the buffet and pool area. It was also very quiet back there with very little foot traffic. I highly recommend this category!

We also did 12 day Mediterranean in a deck 6 veranda midship. The veranda was great for us on our July trip in 2010 with every day being sunny and perfect temps. We did private tours with others from our meet thread, most were spectacular, Pisa was not very exciting for us. We also did Greek Isles with a veranda but for the Baltic we just had Ocean View, would not have spent much time on it anyway.

We arrived in Barcelona 2 days early and toured the city pre cruise, very glad we did. Volcano ended up cancelling and delaying several flights and a pretty large number of people missed the ship in Barcelona and had to catch us at our first port after a great sea day.

Did a 7 night from Barcelona year before last and it is a great cruise. We booked an ocean view and were upgraded to a veranda. We didn't end up using the veranda that much as the cruise is very port centric. We left the ship early each day on excursions and return late. of course your mileage may vary.

Best tip I can offer is to plan on flying into Barcelona at least two days before the cruise. American ended up canceling a connecting flight and we missed our flight out of JFK. The cushion of an extra day meant we still made the ship. It was quite stressful even having the cushion of an extra day to get there.

We are very interested in seeing the Greek isles! What does Disney call this cruise and where does it usually start? And end? How many days? Aloha, Karen
