Honest review: First time cruisers and it was more than we had expected and are now converts - we had a standard outside with picture window which I am glad we had as lovely to see different sight each day and others mentioned could not know if day/night without any window. The hygiene protocols and security were amazing and made us wish all hotels took this up - so easy from Palma Airport to our cabin. the organisation was so well planned that as we walked to our cabins our luggage was already there. We did Rome/Vatican tour and Pisa - coach parked very close so min walking in 39deg heat and Guide amazing too.

Our steward was amazing - making the towels into animal shapes took great skill. The flexible dining was great - 24hr Beachcomber meant you could eat whenever you felt like it. Yes, it did mean melamine plates and plastic cups but this was a good idea with people taking food around the pool and on other decks. The Island Restaurant served the same food but with waiters and you can dress up/not as you wished. We sat with many different people and everyone was friendly and helpful. It was nice to eat off china plates and have real glassware.

Yes the cabin was compact but clean and actually fine for two people (not 4!). There was enough drawers and hanging space. The shower was always hot which is more than I can say for previous hotel holidays. Read more
