Review summary

I really enjoyed this cruise, the weather got rougher than I had experienced before, once you realize that you are safe, the captain knows what he is doing, there's no need to stress. I would have loved to have stayed on for another month or more.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

The embarkation process went very smoothly, probably helped along by not having to go through customs

Entertainment

Entertainment was amazing, especially watching those girls dance around on rods on a moving ship in high heels. I thought it was incredible.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I did anytime dining, so I had different wait staff each time, they were always very pleasant, they would bring what I asked for. My steward always saw to my needs, there were a few extra tasks I asked him for, he fulfilled them.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Yes they were, I was quite often up at the International Cafe in the Atrium at about 3am. There were about a dozen people around working, spring cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

There was plenty of room for the two of us and our belongings. It was always clean and well stocked.

Ship tip

Make use of the International Cafe, if you're a bad sleeper like me, just wander down to the Atrium, there are always people you can have a bit of a chat with, be it the crew or other non sleepers on the ship whilst you have a nice hot chocolate or cappucino.
