Review summary

This was our first cruise . Both myself and my partner agreed this was our best holiday ever. We have even booked for November 2023🥰 I could not fault this holiday 10/10 for me.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Even though this was still during covid the process was so easy and there were staff at hand at every point showing you where you needed to go and what you need to do

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was amazing and I felt there so much choice as I am vegatarian. If you have a chance I would recomend the restaurant The Glass House Over time 2 weeks we ate there twice as the menu changed after the first 7days.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Within minutes of us arriving to our cabin we were greeted by our steward he was great. Went through where everything is and explained where he is he we need to get hold of him. All the staff were lovely, friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

As this is my first cruise I cannot compare pre / post covid On this cruise December 2021 I found it to be extremely clean and I felt completely safe even with the pandemic

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had a cabin with an obstructed view the room was nice just clean and plenty of tea and coffee provided. We have booked a balcony for our next one so that should be nice❤ 1 tiny blah . . Large wardrobe to hang your clothing. . Only 10 hangers . . But if that was the only downfall for me I think we are definitely winning .

Enjoy it!
