Not a 5 star cruise/ship but not marketed as such. A traditional cruise with all the ingredients.
The Waldorf Restaurant was beyond our expectations and well managed. Dinner comprised of 6 courses with Grilled Salmon/Chicken always available. During the course of the cruise Sirloin Steak, Duck Breast, Smoked Salmon and Caviar all appeared on the menu. At breakfast porridge and kippers were available to order where as everything else was buffet style. A chef cooked your fried egg or omelet whilst you waited. No problem getting a seat at the open sittings. Marco's self service restaurant was also most satisfactory. Proper crockery, and table cloths in the evening. If you went at peak times you could have to share a table or eat outside by the swimming pool. At lunch there was also a grill on deck. There was not as wide a choice as you get on Princess and if I had a complaint it was the sausages which I avoided after the first morning's experience! Tea and coffee were available all day and there must have been a choice of half a dozen teas.
The public rooms were comfortably furnished and the theatre entertainment was good with routines slickly executed.
Square cabin which made the most of the space and gave plenty of space between the beds. 8 medium drawers in the main unit plus 4 more small in the wardrobe. Only 8 coat hangers but space for more. Mirrors on wardrobe doors. Large bathroom which had all the toiletries provided. No real noise problems other than you could hear when somebody in an adjacent cabin slammed their bathroom door! Compared with a modern ship a little tired but nothing to complain about.
