Review summary

As our first cruise we couldn’t have dreamed it would surpass every expectation. We expected high standards and they were surpassed. Despite a ship of 3000 individuals, there was no sense of crowding and we often wondered where everybody was at times! The ports of call offered something new everyday and the scenery and wildlife are up there with the best in the world.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Although our gratuities were pre-paid our regular waiters and attendants were worth a little extra.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Apart from the ballcourt on the 14th deck being rather noisy as we relaxed on the sun beds at the bow, can’t really fault anything.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was excellent and all we needed for the duration of our stay. Cleaned every day by our attendant Renz.

Ship tip

Do it, you won’t regret it.
