Review summary

Cruise would have been better if there had been more daytime entertainment that was not so much of the holiday camp style (Mr Sexy legs competition!) although the entertainment do work incredibly hard. We enjoyed most of the evening entertainment. Service in the bars when they are busy is very slow.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

The airbridge ship to pier wasn't working so embarkation was delayed by half an hour but this information wasn't forthcoming hencle the lower score

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was of mass catering standard and mostly tepid. The all inclusive drink package is a must even if you don't consume alcohol.
