Review summary

Had a disappointing cruise as far as the ship goes. Did Baltic itinerary so the ports did make up for a lot of the ship shortcomings. The ship is due for a refit and desperately needs it. Staff are wonderful as always. Food in the MDR gets very repetitive and lacks flavour, not sure how they manage to make curry without using any spice. Entertainment was poor. With the exception of Frankie and the Dreamers and several comedians which we have seen before the theatre acts were not good, have never walked out of so many shows on a cruise. Ice show was great but only got one and no choice of which show to see, you get a time allocated according to your muster station. The sunbeds need to be put in a skip, some of them were disgusting. Saving grace on this ship for us was the diamond lounge and Dizzys. Would love to do another Baltic cruise, but in common with so many people we talked to will not be returning to this ship.
