Review summary

This review is structured to the first part of the cruise, Southampton to Rome. The actual length of the cruise we did was 37 days from Southampton to Singapore, so we took in ports in Italy, Greece and the Gulf states as well as Sri Lanka and KualaLumpur. All in an excellent cruise and good value for money

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Very well organised by the port of Southampton

Ship experiences

Good food in MDR and Buffet, good service. We did notice that once the ship had been to the gulf ports the menus became very Asian oriented.

Ship tip

Be wary of taking ships excursions, they tend to be expensive and not very good value, the shore excursions team are not sympathetic to critics
