Review summary
The ship is beautiful but seriously overcrowded. 1,000 less passengers needed for comfort. Only way to guarantee a seat is to bring your own in scooter or hand. Tried food in MDR is mediocre so went to Windjammer with better food and more spacious. Massive lack of sunbeds leaves frustrated passengers. Staff valient in bars. The system to pay for drinks takes longer than making the drinks. You thought the service in Wetherspoons was slow wait until. The voyage was to celebrate my 75 birthday and tick off Bucket List-Go on a BIG SHIP. Done that next on list.....Embarkation
