Ship Quality

I did not like the top indoor pool like a swimming baths heavy chlorine smell. Loved the small outside pool at the back of ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

A really good cabin, dressing area seperate next to shower/toilet room, larger balcony area a very good layout.

Ship tip

Easy to miss the onboard party & drink because of time of boarding & life jacket drill.

I developed a sickness bug during last 24 hrs so not allowed to go home on the coach, a private taxi was expensive to Staffordshire so a good insurance is necessary
