Just returned from a New Years cruise from Southampton to the Canaries. The Highlights were Madeira for New Year, where there was a fantastic atmosphere during the day and then the firework display which was absolutely fantastic. If you get the chance to go there for New Year - go.
Sindhu speciality restaurant was extremely good. Lovely attentive service, spacious and the food was easily of Michelin starred quality. Undoubtedly the best Indian food I have ever eaten!
Now the downside- This ship despite being relatively modern is showing signs of wear.
Despite being next to lifts, there was little noise. Reasonable sized cabin with small balcony. Bathroom was small but adequate
