The whole experience was very professional and for the purposes of this review ,my comments reflect our thoughts on the ship and the facilities offered.
Embarkation at the terminal was quick and efficient,our suitcases were taken by porters and we were advised they would be at our cabins shortly after we got on board.We were directed to our deck check in, in our case deck 7 and queued for a short time, Whilst queuing we filled in public health forms asking if we had suffered any stomach upsets or sore throats ,colds etc in the previous couple of days. This was handed in at check in.As we walked on board we were offered hand gel and a welcome aboard drink,we then headed off to the Ocean View Cafe on deck 14 for a buffet lunch.The buffet had superb selection,pizza,stir fry and salads and more.Throughout the cruise the Ocean View maintained this high standard of varied and well prepared foods and we enjoyed eating there. Tea,coffee and soft drinks were all available for free.
We went to the Lawn Club on the top deck,for a cocktail and enjoyed the real grass area ,and relaxing.When we were advised our cabins were ready,we were amazed at how well laid out they were. We had adjoining cabins(7328-7326) and the attendant (Jose)arranged for the balcony partition to be removed and for us to have a double door,entrance and then our cabin door from the corridor.
