Ship experiences
Food and Dining
The choice of food was very limited and the portions were very small
The Buffet was very limited with choices were same old same old.
Vegetarian option was not good.
Seemed to be a lack of staff serving in the restaurants.
Onboard Activities
Entertainment wasn’t good!
Music Quiz was very slow and a lot of cheating going on to get points on there card.
The entertainment was hit and miss!
Some acts didn’t turn up and had to get other acts to cover.
For a month we had the same resident artist in the headliners or what ever they call it.
They had a new theme sounded good
But a gap filler and a money saving exercise as they had crew members doing dance and singing sets.
Had to-queue to enter the theatre doors didn’t open until 10 minutes to the start of the show.
Entertainment
Not good very poor in fact not the usual high standard
Service and Staff
Worked very hard and asset to the ship but more staff required
Ship Quality
Needs a complete refurb looked very scruffy and neglected
Cabin / Stateroom
Cabin was kept clean?
However we did have a ripped bottom sheet!
Ship tip
The onboard app wasn’t fit for purpose
Thumbs up

Ports of call
Loved people watching in the town centre with the biggest glass of beer I’ve seen but went down a treat in fact all 3 went down a treat
Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Bonaire, Netherlands Special Municipality
Disembarkation
Evacuation of Dunkirk every man woman and child let loose in the baggage Hall what a calamity!
As for lifts don’t expect too much as everyone wants them to disembark
Total confusion
