Review summary

We enjoy the lectures they are usually very topical and of interest. the entertainment is good as there is always a good variety.

The spa is also a favourite.with us, but it is needing to be updated also as some of the equipment needs more maintenance. The variety of treatments available are good.

Service is always good. Certainly would recommend it to others.

This was our first time sailing from New York to Southampton and we did not like the time being changed at noon as it shortened our usable time during the day and throws your dining habits out of kilter.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Kings Court quality of food and accessibility greatly improved. Disappointed in the variety of food in the Britannia club. The selection of cheeses very poor in comparison to previous cruises. But the Veranda restaurant was excellent and they had a good cheese board.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

lectures great, classical concerts are good. Love the line dancing but the timing at 11 am conflicts with the better lectures that are put on at that time.
