Review summary
Our first cruise and it didn’t disappoint. The food and drink were exemplary. The staff were great - nothing was too much trouble. I didn’t like the groups of teens wondering around without parents until 1am. The curfew is too late. The teens were unruly and out of control. In my opinion the pool area doesn’t work for as many guests as were on the ship. Plenty of sun-beds but not enough space. I don’t like having to almost climb over sunbathers when I want to get up. I think there are too many passengers for the activities but this could be because of the school holidays. The cabin was nice - basic but clean and there was enough storage space. All in all it was a lovely holiday but I won’t be cruising every year or more frequently like others I know.Embarkation
