Fantastic experience. Already booked back on Discovery for Christmas/New year
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Although we had a Premier Cabin boarding was extremely tedious and exhausting. The very long walk dragging luggage was exhausting. Elderly prople, people with walking difficulties were given no mercy. But, this is normal for Tui
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Food in main restaurants was good although service was very haphazard. Put it down to new staff. Only visited the glass house and Kora Li. Kora li was excellent but the maitre'd in glass house does not like work. Will only fill his restaurant once. Turns many people away even though he has empty tables.
Buffet, was great. Only needed to ask for my Grapefruit juice once to the head water st breaky and it was there every day
Italian restaurant, second visit and the head water knew my name.
47. One night I mentioned to the head waiter that the air con wasn't very good that night, I was very abruptly told "we are in Africa " Exceptionally rude.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Golf was great. First couple of days the Shuffle Board courts were covered with sun beds Day 2 I spoke to a deck supervisor who clears one and it was immediately ocupied by someone. Never venture into gym. Free fitness classes at more sociable hours would be better
Entertainment

Fantastic
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
All good but again obvious new staff in some departments may need to settle in
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Toilet facilities a little haphazard. Having to go down a floor outside the theatre???
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Fab cabin. Perfect accessibility. BUT
noise from dragging chairs/tables on deck 9 very annoying
Ship tip
Be prepared for chaotic check in at airport. Crazy queues. Don't bother booki.g a lounge visit as you won't get there
Exceptional. Only comment. Advice for older, or maybe people with slight walking problems. May Be, build in transport to the far end of Petra so people at least have the chance to see it all and walk back. I personally only saw half due to my problem
Apart from not getting to DUBAI disembarkation was easy. We had the opportunity to leave slightly earlier than schedule. Good. As when arrived at Al Maktoum airport again check in chaos. At least a much smaller than the International Airport. MUCH easier to navigate
