Review summary

Loved the cruise , dined in windjammer and main dining room food was ok in wind jammer, ate too much cause we could 😂,only had a couple of bad nights in main dining room, staff are all fantastic, ship was very clean all staff work very hard,we had the deluxe drinks packages and made use of them, the entertainment was very good but I felt on sail days especially when the weather wasn’t great that there could have been more to do that didn’t require cash , we felt obligated to play bingo and as a cash prize was a great incentive wasn’t given to many players just main winners, not big gambler s so didn’t want to throw money away in casino either, tv required to pay for any films may be a DVD player would be good in rooms, port of calls where great as the weather was good , didn’t do excursions this time but would definitely prebook for another trip and budget for them , we bought voom and surf for one but didn’t have brilliant time with internet very slow gave up with it most days, easy transfer from airport to train and other way round. Genaraly had a great time would definitely do it again but we’re not millionaires so will have to save lots
