Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Overall the food was quite good; but strange that the servings of seafood were quite small. Too bad no brewed decaf coffee was available; only powdered instant decaf.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Enjoyed the lecture on the EU; and the evening of French cabaret music.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff were very responsive and eager to be helpful.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship/decor needs updating.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Our bed needed a new firm mattress.
