Great ship, modern but maybe a bit 'clinical'?

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The choice across every restaurant was fab. Lots of things included in your fare. The Olive Grove is a must, as is The Quays. If you want to pay, The Epicurean and Glass House were worth paying for.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Plenty to keep us entertained.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Some great shows in the theatre. Silent disco was great as was the 711 Club.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiters and cabin steward were outstanding. Always there to help - nothing was too much trouble.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very well proportioned ship, lots of places to sit and relax, lots of entertainment. The cinema is a great addition.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Upgraded to a balcony cabin a few weeks before the trip. Spacious room, no shower curtain (YAY) and big balcony. There are no drawers, however, but little shelves for undergarments.
