Review summary

Very enjoyable cruise, good weather, good staff, nice ship

Embarkation

1 out of 5
The agent in the car park has to be the rudest individual i ever had the misfortune to meet

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Well organised, although service for anytime dining was hit and miss, some nights quick, others painfully slow

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Trivia was better some days that others, depending on presenter

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The shows seem to lack the quality of Princess shows in the past. Second rate Comedians and Magicians that would struggle to cut it in the local RSL club

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most of the staff were friendly, our room steward couldn't do enough for us and was always there with a smiley face

Did our own walking tour, left the ship as earl as possible and it gave us the jump on the crowds

Lovely port, will certainly go back

Phillip Island, Australia

4 out of 5
Should have tendered to Cowes but went to Rhyll instead, this pushed the costs up as we had to pay for shuttles

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We were in transit so it was fairly easy xt
