Sail Date: Jan 2013
Cabin: Large Ocean-View Stateroom

We sailed from Dubai, having had a casual greeting on arrival at the terminal. No great welcome, more a were you on the last leg and we've missed you? OK 1500 passengers, and a very pleasant staff, but just no feeling of anyone in control.

I was amazed that our luggage was already in our cabin when we entered, so a positive start after our non-greeting on arrival, but quickly followed by a disappointment when we discovered there was no fridge! However, ice was available in copious amounts, so we made sure that we always had plenty of cold water and drinks by buying a cold box, which we kept filled with ice throughout the time on board.

First stop Abu Dhabi, and.a rather chaotic start, with maybe a shuttle bus, maybe not! Many people waited ages for a bus to take them to a local shopping mall 8 km away, but a shuttle bus to the port gates entailed a shorter wait of about 20 minutes.

Cabin Review

Large Ocean-View Stateroom

Cabin DA

Loads of cupboard space and sufficient drawer space.

Very, very comfortable bed. Large stateroom with a three seater sofa and occasional chair to sit on if you wanted to watch a film or enjoy a drink in the stateroom.

Tiny bath! Not enough room to sit let alone lie and soak unless you propped your feet up on the wall!
