Review summary

Chose this cruise due to the itinerary. Loved visiting all of the ports. Food and drink on ship was faultless. Very friendly staff. Can’t wait till the next cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy embarkation. We had a late flight and therefore missed the crowds.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Buffet had plenty of choice especially breakfast. Snack shack - loved the fish and chips. Tapas - Didn’t pay for any extras but didn’t need too. Plenty of choice and filling. Kora la - Well worth the extra charge. Amazing! Main dining room - Not my favourite venue but food choice was excellent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Plenty of activities available but never had time to enjoy them. Weather not great on sea days to enjoy the pool.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Saw one show which was excellent. Hubby not into theatre hence only went once. Squid and anchor had a good selection of quizzes and entertainment and enjoyed sitting in here. The lounge was nice listening to the performers.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Couldn’t fault any member of staff. All were so friendly and nothing was a problem.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Old ship but felt new. Very modern design features around the ship. Immaculate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Inside cabin. Seemed more spacious than other ships we’ve been on. Not dated at all. Massive amount of storage space for everything.
