No problems bookit.
Well mahdnc I think it is amazing you chose my intended cruise as an example.
I took it as an omen that I should definitely go ahead and book this cruise NOW.
What I did in the end is book 9215 which is a hump cabin but bed by the balcony
Seems a great cabin though with many good reviews.
I'll continue to keep an eye to see if better humps open up and maybe change.
I'll certainly book a few nights in Rome at the end of the cruise mahdnc
It's so long since I spent time there.
Barcelona I already know well from many years spent in Spain.
Thank you so much for your help with all of this,ant to all the others who made suggestions too
