Review summary

The ship appeared a little tired - from its capitan to its staff, its interiors. They appeared to need a good cleaning especially the hallways leading to the staterooms. A positive aspect was the stateroom attendant who was constantly congenial and hard-working. Another was the variety of menus in the Minstral dining room. Although the food was not always as described, most of the time it was adequately prepared.

Maitre d' should know and be prepared to serve red and white wines in the appropriate glasses. Comment from him: We use multi-purpose glasses for facility of use.

Purser's desk seemed overworked and irritable. Language barriers was a problem for some people.
