Review summary

We had the most enjoyable holiday. The full tui experience was faultless as always. All crew on the ship were very pleasant and aimed to make your holiday just perfect. We are already looking at next years cruise.

Embarkation

Everything went really smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We mainly dined in 47, although tried gallery 47 too. Food and service was amazing. The islands buffet was nice and I really enjoyed the omelette at breakfast. Also tried the snack shack which is ok for a light salad or sandwich.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We didn’t try any of the activities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We went to the show every evening. The stars were very talented and kept you enthralled in the show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Vanessa was our room steward and she took very good care of us, always with a friendly word and a smile. All waiters were very pleasant and friendly even although they were always very busy.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The layout and design of the ship was ideal and very easy to navigate. All common areas and toilets were very clean although I did feel the pool area was overcrowded and a bit messy.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was ideal for two of us. There was plenty of wardrobe and drawer space, even space to put two large suitcases away. The bathroom had plenty of shelf space to keep toiletries tidy and plenty of space to shower and get dried.

Ship tip

Splash out on a balcony room, it’s well worth the extra.

Lisbon, Portugal

3 out of 5
Good to see this city. Did the city sightseeing bus tour

Cadiz (Spain)

5 out of 5
Paid £5 each for a bus from the port, to the town, then on to the beach. You could pick up any bus through out the day. This was my favourite place.

Malaga, Spain

3 out of 5
Quite a large city but easy to navigate.

Alicante, Spain

4 out of 5
Great shops, also nice beach area although very busy

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Had to get a late check out cabin, which was ideal for a nap and shower before pick up time.
