Excellent, 35 minutes car park to cabin. Beats any airport experience I have had.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Very good food and service. Nothing was too much trouble. Restaurants very well managed with great waiters. Happy holiday experience.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Generally good but more guest speakers and the like might be a good idea. The speakers could be available in the evening as well as daytime.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Ok, but again more variety would be welcome. Too many quizzes and game shows for me, but lots of people enjoyed this entertainment.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Very good all round. Nothing was missing.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Good, ongoing maintenance was happening while we sailed but was not intrusive. Toilets and public areas very well kept.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Happy with the cabin, everything was there that could be needed. Stewardess kept the cabin spotless.

Ship tip

Think about the ships size, 900 passengers, it was right for us but not everyone’s cup of tea.

Had good day exploring the older part of town. Festival was on final day and a great show. Lots to fit in on a first visit. Stayed overnight which was good.
