My wife and I completed Marina's "maiden", Barcelona to Miami, on Febr. 4th.....This is ONE FINE SHIP!

Marina was delivered 6 days late in Genoa the evening of Jan. 19th, and, ready to sail from Barcelona on the 22nd. The 3 day shakedown cruise had been cancelled with the expected late delivery, hence, no practice for the galley, waitstaff, etc., and, hardly a glitch in service.

She also got a real workout weatherwise, right from the get go, cancelled in Malaga due to severe conditions, and, Force 10-11 much of the day from Casablanca to Tenerife, and, she handled extremely well.

Marina also boasts 4 "no pay" alternative restaurants. We sampled all four, as well as the two super special premium restaurants where you do pay supplements. This is truly a ship for "foodies".

Yes, Marina is a MUST!.
