Review summary
Getting off the ship at the ports was definitely our favourite part. We found the sea days were our least favourite. We as first time cruisers were not sure about what to expect on a cruise and I suppose we didn't realise about the "extras" we had to pay along the way. The ships shore excursions were just over the top expensive and were not value for money. The food was good but became quite tiresome after a while. We didn't want to try the speciality restaurants because of the extra cost so we're stuck with the choice of the buffet or two dining rooms serving the same food. Our room was good and the service was very good. All staff were particularly friendly. The ship
was clean and well maintained. The entertainment was ok but certainly not exceptional. The cost of alcohol was exorbitant and the added 18% gratuity seemed over the top! Obviously we didn't get a drinks package but we certainly wouldn't have got value for money if we had purchased one because of the high cost involved.
We didn't hate our cruise..... just don't think cruising is our preferred type of holiday.

Ship tip
We thought the location of our room on level 10 aft was good because it was close to the buffet and sports bar on level 11. After buying water for most of our trip we discovered other people were refilling bottles from the water provided in the buffet area. Saves $$$$$
Ports of call
Port Stanley, Falkland Islands
Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina
