Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The service and variety of food was lovely. Even though we couldn't get into one restaurant we were directed to another restaurant and the food/service was great.

Bay Tree Restaurant

4 out of 5

We went here for breakfast and it was lovely. The service was prompt and the staff were very polite and attentive. The poached eggs were more like boiled eggs tho!

Onboard Activities

Oasis Spa & Health Club

5 out of 5

This was amazing and Nadiya and Chantel were fantastic. Great service and great treatments.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The Headliners Show - Astonishing - was brilliant. The energy and enthusiasm the performers had made this show first-class. I loved how they bought the magic alive and in 45 minutes showcased how talented they all are. Fabulous!

Arena Theatre

4 out of 5

The size of the Arena was adequate for the shows that it was putting on. To get a great seat tho you had to be willing to queue up early - which was OK.

Atrium

4 out of 5

I liked the look and feel of the Atrium. It was light and airy.

Children's Programs

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Even tho our cabin had a restricted view - it didn't take away from the view. Lovely cabin and great to have a balcony too.

Ship tip

If a first-time cruiser (like us) I would get the low-down on what you need to know to get the best out of this experience.
