Review summary
Pros: * Restaurant staff were great, and very accommodating for our young family, especially the buffet staff * Drink prices were reasonable and service was good Cons: * Older style ship, so has its obvious limitations with activities etc * Buffet choice was limited (but to be fair I enjoyed) * Embarkation was a joke, 3 hours to get onboard, was the first time since process had changed so hopefully may improve * Kids club was non existent with parents having to stay and no options for toddlers under 2. Very child unfriendly. * Cabin steward, cant believe I am writing this, but first time we havent left an extra tip... couple of occasions we had to go hunt for a towel and toilet roll when they werent provided. Normally these guys and gals absolutely make the cruise for us, but not this time. Seems like a whinge but generally did quite like the ship, but definitely think it's better left to non family cruisers.Embarkation

Ship tip
At present, if you have a young family the provision of services is extremely lacking. Children under 2 have very limited places to wonder about.
