Great service from staff in all areas we used.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Love the design of CP. Especially love her promenade deck! All areas were being cleaned, even painted and varnished! She's just a bit 'tired' in areas due to her age.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our favourite balcony stateroom. Quiet location, unobstructed and not overlooked!

Ship tip

Enjoy this lovely ship but bear in mind she's older, so a bit tired in areas.
