From start to finish this has been the worst holiday. After traveling to Barcelona, after planes been cancelled and rerouted, our transfer company wouldn't pick us up as we were four and a half hours late.
So extremely stressed, we took a taxi to the ship, last passengers to arrive (in fact, in hindsight we wished we had missed the ship and gone straight to Madeira).
The personnel were all extremely courteous and efficient, so we boarded. The lobby looks alright, and we started to relax. Up to our room...we were living on the tenth floor with a balcony. The room was antiquated and small, shabby. The wardrobe small and badly designed, very difficult to use. The bathroom, was tiny, compartmentalized, titchy loo, with a wall..(pleased I am not overweight), titchy shower also walled with a small basin between. The bathroom was tiled, shabby and difficult to keep clean.
Tiny and badly designed closet, tiny balcony, shabby bedroom, badly designed and shabby bathroom. Tiny balcony.
