Review summary

We would never go on a mini cruise.such a lot of money and advertised as children's school holiday cruise..but not suitable for children. In fact it has put us off cruising for a while..only our second cruise..would not recommend it to anyone..with children .

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Bad experience.had to take our own cases from car park.no trolley available.had to walk across a very large car park.no help from anyone.

Buffet ok ..hated the UHT milk for cup of tea and all cereals and porridge. Main dining room was good no queuing like we had the the Arcadia

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

We took our grandchildren aged 10 and 12 and when we booked we were assured that there would be activities suitable for them ..extremely dissapointed ,there was nothing suitable for them

Entertainment

1 out of 5

On the first night ,we thought there would be a show suitable for children ,as this was supposed to be a school holiday cruise..but no they had a tribute band.we expected a magician or something like that.suitable for children ..on Sunday there was a film showing ,which was suitable but was on a screen outside above the pool,was freezing cold and raining. so not good

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

Not a lot..there was one show on Sunday 3pm which children loved..but that was the only show for them..kids club not much on and nothing appealing for our two grandchildren

Terrible.cabin very cramped.two single beds for my husband and Myself to sleep n and at 7 pm the children's beds wer bought out of the ceiling.and then was so cramped.hard to move about The cabin ,we are very dissapointed..luckily we were lucky that we had a balcony otherwise it would have been very claustrophobic .! We paid a lot of money for the two night cruise.
