Review summary

We really enjoyed the trivia games and the other games. Afternoon tea is a must at least once.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was delayed as the ship was late into port but moved quickly once boarding started.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food was very good.

Britannia Club Restaurant

They had the best desserts here.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the casino, especially since it is nonsmoking.

Empire Casino

5 out of 5

Small but nice.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Entertainment was not the best. The only two shows we enjoyed were the Broadway one and the flute player.

Royal Court Theatre

3 out of 5

The guest singers were not great and the comedian was not funny.

Afternoon tea here is a must do.

Always something going on here.

Connexions

Out of the way and quiet.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The whole crew was friendly and helpful. Service was very good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is laid out strangely but was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This is an accessible cabin, so plenty of room. It was well appointed and clean. The only draw back was the way the shower chair took up a lot of room in the shower. Lots of storage.
