Review summary

Perfect in everyway. Maybe add a better smoking area

Embarkation

5 out of 5

So smooth, was on the ship within 45 mins from arriving at the carpark. Embankment was a beautiful slow journey out of port

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Well when u have a option of food all day every day, then you really cant complain..was all tasty and cooked well

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We didn't do many activities but enjoyed the ones we joined in, does need a little more for children to do

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Mixed reviews as so were brilliant others were a little cheesy

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Blown away, top class staff

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It couldnt be cleaner

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Perfect size for a family of 4, clean and tiny, no movement, loved it so much picked the same cabin number for ariva

Ship tip

I took a shower curtain to separate the room so kids had privacy and so did we. Could do with a tiny bit more for children to do but overall a cracking experience

Thank you for your review. There are others who would ban smoking anywhere on board.

Thanks for your review. I've heard the same comments about the smoking area. I'm sure I will find out in a fortnight myself when we join her for the first time
