Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We had a meal package for 5 nights ,chops grill was the best we thought Giovanni the Italian restaurant was poor we waited 40 minutes for our starters and the selection was limited. The main restaurant service was really good and the menu had plenty of choice, and the food was good.We were disappointed with the specalist coffee only being served in paper cups.

Was disappointed most of the shows were the same as when we were on over a year ago and when talking to other people they said they have been the same for quite a few years

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was very crowded at times due to the increase in cabins and hard to find a seat,

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Plenty of storage but in need of updating the curtains are very thin and age worn and the bedding skirt was very aged and in need of replacement, the cabins don’t seem to have been touched in the upgrade and are in need of a makeover.

Ship tip

Bring your own shower gel none supplied , and have a fantastic time
