Wow, sounds great. Bet you were in fruit heaven in Barcelona. I would like to do an abroad cruise some time. Any security problems? I did a 2 week cruise to New England and Canada last year and the year before a week in from Seattle to Alaska. Enjoyed them both but the 2 week was really long. Probably would have been better if there were more exciting things to do except guided tours. We did have 2 days in Quebec so were were able to explore on our own.
