Review summary
Despite our grumbles, we enjoyed the cruise & loved the rear outdoor decks of the ship. The mdr food was excellent & the bar & restaurant staff were lovely. The buffet was a bloodbath. Our ship was 100% full & we felt there were way too many passengers for the size of the ship. We didn't like the bus aspect of the cruise (new passengers at every port of call + daily muster drills). This has made us more weary of cruising & we will avoid the Mediterranean in holiday season. Our cruise was "educational" and has helped us shape what we want.Embarkation
