I did this exact itinerary this summer on the Pride and none of these were tender ports.

I just left the Pride in Europe and you could bring any liquor on board from port. We brought wine in from Spain and Portugal and scotch in from France. Not the same rules as sailing from a u.s. port. I would not buy a cheers package unless you like the convenience of walking up to a bar an ordering at any time.

This was the letter we got in our cabins.

The balcony situation is pretty bad. I was so excited to have one of the extra long balconies, but it is a hot mess. I don’t find the internet all that bad, tho.

I am also currently on this cruise and agree with everything kwokpot has said. The casino is open and hopping, including craps table. The ports are great, the mood is festive, and the crew is fantastic. MDR is a little slower than pre-Covid but whatever, who cares? Shows are good, and one night, Chris Williams, the flying Scotsman, will be a fly-on entertainer and do his show. He is one of the best CD ever, if you have never seen his show, it is fantastic. All in all, this is a terrific cruise, and if you have any specific questions, ask!
