Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
The cabin unfortunately had bedding and towels in it and a very damp smell was present. I complained on day one and the reception did there very best to rectify, and I however the damp smell lasted all week. I was refused a meeting with the Hotel Manager to discuss this problem. However I cannot fault the reception staff for their efforts

Ship tip

Don't expect a First Class experience, as many rules are not put into operation, but especially on dress smartness at Dinner. However, as the Cruise was reasonably priced, I was we got what we paid for and were generally happy to content and got on with our holiday
