Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
As usual food great want fantastic go to resteraunts stayed mainly in market place snack shack nonos and the others don’t like being waited on and wasting time sitting and waiting for service quicker to do it yourself pull your own drink beer red wine white wine rose perfect end with tea coffee water what more do you want

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Personally I thought jules was the best entertainer with comedy and music and played all diffrent instruments shows were fabulous routines like clockwork great singers special artist that were one night only superb collection were another good band also unison were also great entertainers if you like any type of music tui is the ship

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Superb anybody says diffrent there snobs and shouldn’t be on tui it’s for ordinary people who are out to enjoy there selves and who are working class appreciate what work they do from the kitchen to the bars a credit to them all and should only be treated with respect for what they do

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Nothing flashy spotless clean high standered of service layout nice and simple even the wife didn’t get lost (pity) only joking but that’s how easy was to navigate around the ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Balcony cabin well looked after by Nelson and his staff cabin cleaned regular chochalotes great towel presents good size cabin

Ship tip

Relax and enjoy the experience enjoy each port and sea day as they come go to every show quizz band trivia throw yourself into being there try not to waste half or full days sunbathing can do that in your garden and if that’s what you want to do stay at home cruise is not for you
