Review summary

The destination. The weather. The entertainment just great. Having 2 weeks hols makes a difference. But due to the large ships. The ships have got larger BUT the disembarkation area has NOT been extended!! This was an awful experience. May NOT cruise again.

The cabin was an inside. No problem. Excellent tentative room attendant.

Ship tip

A very large ship. Can be a Butlins when lots of children onboard. Not as cruising used to be. Lots of services cut. Be aware of the disembarkation issues. 6000 people in the same building that housed 2500 people!!! We will not experience that again.
