Review summary

Nothing wrong with the cruise. I probably wasn’t in the mood

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Arrived at 10.30 am just to drop off a bag. But they said- come on in!! We had boarded in less than 5 minutes… what a shock

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffet ok. Smaller than expected Solarium bistro quite nice Pizza- sombrero… excellent Two70 cafe. Handy. CHIC restaurant.. nice food but one meal served immediately after each course. We were out in about half an hour

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Saw a couple of shows. You had to book practically everything- my app wouldn’t work. Everything was booked out anyway Looked at the usual crappy shops. Hardly any books in the library
