Review summary

We had a lovely time on this cruise. My husband and I o my did one trip to Marrakesh it was a long way to go. The traditional lunch was great. We didn’t really get any time to buy anything from the bazaar. Had we visited though.

We just had a slight problem as my husband had packed a multi tool in our case our error we should have put it in our hand luggage. But the security staff were all so lovely and so helpful and understanding.

Main Restaurant

Couldn’t not fault the waiters Nova and Afutari they were brilliant. They were so good with our granddaughter absolutely excellent. The food was good, always something we could choose. Some dishes were not what we expected. The waiters we very attentive we were never rushed.

Marketplace Buffet

5 out of 5

There were always plenty of seats. A great family area. The staff were so helpful in finding a hair chair for us every breakfast and lunch. We never ate dinner here. The food was lovely, great selection. The pizzas are to die for.

Entertainment

We saw three shows in the standard theatre that were very good. The one we paid for was excellent.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

We only used the baby club. It is a shame they didn’t have like a soft play area type thing for the little ones. There wasn’t much for them to do.

Sounds like you had a great trip. Marrakesh is a far distance from the port. But an interesting place. Thanks for your review.
