Not as good as previous trips. Decided not to book another yet. May try other cruise companies first

Received assistance from the entrance but was all a bit rushed & not coordinated very well

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Couldn’t fault the food

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Not much to do really. Didn’t seem as organised as previous cruises

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Felt very let down by what was on offer. They showed movies in the theatre twice in the evening & once during the day too

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room steward was great, couldn’t do enough for us. Found the waiters in MDR very poor, which put us off going in after day 3. Most of the staff in windjammer were ok.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Was looking a bit shabby in places

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Had an accessible balcony cabin. Bed was very comfy. Plenty of space. Big wet room. Floor was uneven near windows which put me off a bit

Ports of call

Southampton (London), England

4 out of 5

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
