Review summary

The very wet corridors and average food in the day restaurants aside, we had a great cruise. The weather a couple of nights was a bit rough but that is just something that could happen unplanned. Overall we enjoyed our cruise and would probably do it again.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The waiters were excellent, the room stewards were always polite and friendly, although the last few days of our cruise our room stewards standard seem to drop. All other ship personal were proffesional, friendly and polite

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ships layout and design were well thought out, although being on deck 15 meant a bit of going up and down the stairs or in the lifts if you wanted to go from your cabin at the front to the eating areas at the back. Better prom deck would have been nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
A good sized standard layout. Well thought out and very practical.
