Review summary

The ship was good but in need of a refit. Some of the excursions were very short even though we had more time before setting sail. There were lots of people on mobility scooters that were not used to using them and caused accidents to others. I can't fault the extremely busy friendly staff but there needs to be more of them at certain times.

Ship tip

Don't expect too much, this ship will be getting an overhaul next year. I would wait until its been done before booking a cruise on this ship.
