Review summary

This was a belated honeymoon (11years) so we went on our own as never cruised before. We wanted to test the waters before we took our daughter on one. Absolutely loved it and booked the next cruise before we got of.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was a balcony near the mid ship and was very comfortable. A little outdated but that didn't bother us as we was excited to be cruising

Ship tip

Take an extension lead as not enough sockets.

Very industrial. Not the best place to dock overnight. Was a 40 minute coach trip into Amsterdam.
