The waiters in the restaurant were very attentive, but our room attendant was poor, missing daily programmes, not very friendly. Bar staff were ok

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Good all round, but the outside areas could be better

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Size of the cabin was ok, the shower was far too small, bed was comfy, lighting was excellent. Couldn’t hear any announcements as speaker in cabin wasn’t working. Case turned up late so missed first nights restaurant meal.

Ship tip

You don’t have to eat everything

Swam with pigs but was disappointed that we could use our camera, we had to purchase the trips pictures at $78 on usb. Very expensive for drinks too.
