This was my first sea cruise - I've taken many river cruises which were excellent but not a sea cruise. I have friends that cruise and speak highly of them but they go with other lines.
Firstly, I'll mention the good aspects of this cruise - the cabin, albeit small, was nicely appointed and kept very clean. The ship as a whole was clean and tidy. My cabin cleaner, my waiters and bar waiters were very pleasant and efficient.
On arrival into my very small cabin I found the seat cushion of the chair was stained (I didn't speculate as to what the stain was). The chair was removed and I found the cabin better without it as, sitting on the chair at the dressing table, I could see only down to my nose. I was better sitting on the corner of the bed which was also very close dressing table in such a small cabin.
Had inside cabin - very small with very big bed so hardly any room to walk around. Had to shuffle between the corner of the bed and dressing table to reach the side of the bed. Bed was, however, quite comfortable. Corridor noisy when other passengers were returning to their cabins after a few (?) drinks. Could hear doors banging in other cabins.
