Review summary

Very nice cruise. Staff overall very good. The ship has people boarding and disembarking at each port. A little annoying having to listen to life boat safety drills at each port. As with many European ports you will need a shuttle to get you out of the industrial dock,$$. Please note that if you do not get a drink package, the only drinks included are* breakfast-juice, coffee or hot tea. *lunch & dinner- bottled water, hot tea or coffee.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining room was very pretty but the staff was inexperienced. The buffet was wonderful, staff so very polite and friendly. I felt the food was better in the buffet. Fresher, warmer and better selection.

Besides the dining room the service was excellent. Our room steward was one of the best we have ever had. All servers were friendly, extremely polite and helpful.

Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The large closet had an ample hanging area. Shelves and drawers in closet was so nice. Shower was larger than most. Our balcony was extremely large.

Thank you for your review. Unless you have mobility issues, walking into most port towns isn't usually over an hour. I walk into all port towns, and then catch a local city bus into downtown if it's extremely far away. The longest walk I had was 3 hours from the cruise port in Bahrain to the nearest city bus stop outside the military cruise port. I walk because being on a cruise overeating requires extra exercise 😀
