Hi Sailawaybellaluna, I must say I have really enjoyed reading along with this review you are posting. Your Mom must really be out of her mind in that she led you to think she can speak French and ALSO drive in France. It must have been a very tiring time having to deal with such a person as your Mother!

Thank goodness you were able to get an automatic so that you could drive yourself and your precious little boy.

Your photos and details of the ship are great. I look forward to hearing more from you......:p

I hope you have a wonderful time in Venice. When we sailed into Venice we had a starboard cove balcony cabin. We were able to see the sights as the ship made its way past St Marks square and other sights. The ship docked at the very end and whether you have starboard or portside, there wasn't much to see. Our ship was docked starboard side but it's a large port that can accommodate more than one ship.

The port in Barcelona is huge and a little bit away from the city center. On one side is the sea and the other side is the highway and hills. It's not really pedestrian friendly but it's a short taxi ride to the city. The smaller cruise ships can dock downtown and its a easy walk to get around. Have a great time!

I so enjoyed reading this in depth review. And, the photos are amazing. As you may know, the Breeze has "cove balconies". You can see them in the ship' s photos. I highly recommend these cabins.
