Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Sindhu
The food was good but was better on a previous experience.
Onboard Activities
Service and Staff
Felt they were perhaps understaffed at times. However, very friendly and attentive.
Ship Quality
Beautiful ship. A shame the toilets were quite messy at times and people made a mess in the lifts.
Cabin / Stateroom
What we expect fits the budget perfectly.
Ship tip
Book entertainment/dining in advance.

Ports of call
Probably overlooked due to Amsterdam being a short journey away. Explored all around and enjoyed it for what it was. Did tour into Amsterdam and it was everything i thought it would be. Did the ice-bar which is a tourist trap. Bars are nice and you can get some idyllic pictures of the canals. Glad we didn't come on a weekend may have been too much going on. Mind the bikes!
A mixed bag.The Church of St. Nicholas is well worth a visit. The Reeperbahm district was certainly an experience. Probably wouldn't visit Hamburg again.
Travelled on train from Blankenburge to Brugge for a speedrun around this magnificient city. Clean, vibrant and stunning. Only scratched the surface due to early recall time. Will be back 100%
Disembarkation
Took a long time. Organised chaos and a lot of pushing in.
