I was on this cruise with my wife. Loved the cruise overall but i do agree with it feeling a bit rusty. There are teams out on deck painting everyday so they are dealing with this. The smell in midships was our only gripe. Weather made the trip apart from Guernsey on Friday. We were the unlucky few out on a tender (13) for over an hour and many failed atempts to get ud all back onboard. Santander was paradise as was our trip to Bordeaux. Cherborg had Bsstile Day and we went to see parade and flyover, it was great. Stayed in D187 at the back. Great balcony. No wind even on sea days.
