Review summary

Absolutely amazing. Freestyle cruising is definitely the way forward. This cruise had the option of posh dining. Or informal. Cannot wait until my next one. You can book this while on your cruise and they more or less give you back your deposit in onboard spending

Embarkation

4 out of 5

A bit chaotic at the airport. But once on the coach everything was great. Dare i say it. Plain sailing 🤣

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was lovely. Lots of choice. Drinks must have been weak though as we were drinking alcohol from lunchtime until 11pm with little effect.

Garden Cafe

5 out of 5

Always found something nice to eat. Always found a seat and the ship was fully booked. Plenty of choice. Food really nice and fresh

O'Sheehans Neighborhood Bar and Grill

5 out of 5

Loved o'sheehans. Spent most of my nights there. Loved the menu choices. Food was lovely. Not big portions. Jist the rigjt size. Again never waited for a table despite the ship being fully booked

Epic Theatre

Great size. Always found a seat. Staff at the bar tidying up a bit noisy. But did t spoil our enjoyment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff cannot do enough for you. Everyone had a genuine smile. The staff seemed really happy in their jobs. They work really hard and appear to have long hours as some staff we seen at breakfast were still working, albeit in a different role. A really happy bunch of people.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was immaculate. Staff continually tidying up tables and cleaning floors. Great infection control with the handwash stations all over the boat. Also the "happy.happy. washy washy girls at every entrance to the buffet.
