Review summary

Cons: There were 4300 passengers on board of which 1200 were kids (admittedly it was half term week). The kids ran up and down the corridors, thumping their feet, quite late at night. (I’m a mum and I love children). The dining tables were so close together that the waiters bumped into our chairs each time they passed. There weren't many places on board to sit quietly and read. Most of the bars had loud music playing. No pre-show dancing with dance hosts. No dance lessons either. You are charged $14.50 gratuity per person per day. Tax is also added to drinks. Drinks are quite expensive compared to other cruise lines I've sailed with. There were long queues for breakfast and lunch. Our waiter repeatedly asked for positive feedback when completing the survey following the cruise, which became a bit tiresome. Pros: Excellent food. No complaints at all. The MDR was beautiful. We had a good sized cabin which was well equipped with an excellent shower. All the crew were very pleasant and helpful. This is just my own personal opinion and I realise everyone has different tastes!
