Review summary

Wonderful cruise, huge ship with loads to do, you do get your steps in! Loads of windows to look out from and deck space to enjoy sail ins and sail aways, glorious sunsets and relaxing moments

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Well organised, drop your luggage off at the points that relate to the floor your cabin is on then join the queue for security and check in. Took around 20 minutes, queues moved fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Loads of choice of places to eat, buffet busy but still always able to get a good table and food kept being replenished Other areas such as the Quays for roast, fish and chips and Asian food, taste 360 for burgers and pizza, American Diner and Main dining rooms included in the cruise fare Speciality dining was really tasty at Sindhu Indian restaurant, Green and Co vegan was delicious and well presented. The beach club food was yummy.
