Ship experiences

Food and Dining

All a bit samey but always something to enjoy!

Chops Grille

3 out of 5

We used to love Chops Grille but it has gone downhill as of late. The steaks just aren't as good as they were and it is very expensive now!

Jamie's Italian

5 out of 5

We absolutely loved this restaurant and went twice.The food is excellent! The beef short rib is to die for as is the meat plank as a starter.Good efficient service!

North Star

A great experience if you book it on a port day! Free then but $40 on port days which is expensive for a 15 minute trip. But we loved it with amazing views!

Service and Staff

All staff were amazing from the waiters to the bar staff. They git to know your preferences and served with a smile!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Slowly looking like it needs a refurbishment. Carpets are getting shabby. However all kept very clean!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
A good size with a balcony! We had a problem with the AC which took 3 days to fix. Bathroom very bijou! Bed really comfortable!

Ship tip

Enjoy every minute as it flies past!

Ports of call

Southampton (London), England

Our home port!

Lisbon, Portugal

4 out of 5
We love this part! Always buy their amazing custard tarts. Loads of shops. My missus always finds some good value jewellery. A tip is to find a bar off the main streets as better and cheaper!

Vigo, Spain

4 out of 5
Not much to do but some good shops nearby! Good duty free tobacco available. Got some new jumpers for our cold winter!

Lanzarote, Canary Islands

4 out of 5
On a Sunday so nothing open closely! Got off and back on quickly!

4 out of 5
Did a tour which was great! A coach trip to a local vineyard with tasting!

Disembarkation

We were on a back yo back. The queues were unbelievable both on the ship and port. What should have taken 30 minutes took over 90! Very irate guests trying to jump the lines! Not a good end to the cruise!

I was on this ship and I can't understand how you can give Bermuda 4 stars when we did not stop there !!!!
