Traveled with children

We had booked this cruise as we thought that the itinerary, being somewhere different each day, and on board entertainments would keep our 15 year old from being bored and would provide something for everyone to enjoy.

Transfer from the airport to the ship was well organised, our luggage was delivered promptly to our cabin and we soon settled in. We had booked an outside + cabin and were allocated to the 7 th floor. No problem with the overall cabin size, my daughter had a sofa bed which was fine for her as she is quite small but would have not been great for a 3rd adult sharing. The cabin was kept spotlessly clean by Beni with frequent changes of linen including fresh pool towels. I'd describe it as a bit faded and the bathroom was certainly overdue a refurb but it was all perfectly clean and well maintained.

Apart for the first day when we were disappointed with the food in both the Lido self service restaurant and the Orion dining room the food quality seemed to improve as the week went on. Food was plentiful and good quality, lots of choice and all served by friendly staff who genuinely looked pleased to serve us. We ate in the Orion each evening and used the Sirens buffet for breakfast and if we were around in the daytime, Sirens is a bit quieter and nicer ambiance than the Lido buffet. One day we had an outside barbecue at the Lido which was very good. We also tried out the Grill one evening which was nice, small surcharge for this.

Cabin 7151, reasonable size outside + cabin. Decor a bit faded and bathroom in need of a refurb but overall clean and fairly comfortable. Plenty storage space
