We had great food in all the different dining options. Great service too. Quisine the additional dining option was our favourite.
Tuscan Grille

We enjoyed our meal here looking out directly over the wake of the ship. Good steak. Great service.
Craft Social Bar
5 out of 5
Great restaurant and service. Different and quirky presentation of food. Best spring rolls ever!
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
We enjoyed the destination port talks by Ken Williams. Very informative and well presented. Less Lennon talks by Sore Excursions Manager Karen. More about selling trips than good info. Quite a poor presenter too. Lots of focus on trying to get you to buy stuff through art auctions, jewellery events etc. Not keen on this. Also...when did colouring in for adults become a cruise activity!!? Lovely pools and gym areas although we don’t use these.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All staff were fantastic. Helpful, cheerful, polite and attentive. Apart from one rude woman on reception/excursions desk.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Beautifully clean and well maintained. Bar areas often too crowded to get a seat. Many of the seats were style over substance - in that they looked nice but were uncomfortable. Try sitting on one of the large curved sofas on the Martini bar!! Alcoves area on the grassed deck area was a waste of space as you had to pay to use the sitting areas! Not good in my view .
Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip
Be ready for all the push in yodelling and trying to get you to buy extra dining, extra drinks packages, Celebrity trips, art, Jewlery, watches.
