This was our first Cruise which we found very disappointing..... although Clean and tidy with most of the staff being friendly and helpful....THE SHIP WAS VERY SHABBY. The Cabins (we upgraded to a window cabin (£150 wouldn't bother again) were adequate with plenty of storage and a hairdryer in the bathroom which was a bit of a problem as could not be used when friend in the shower..... Shower curtain on wrong side of shower so if wet , when you used the toilet you got wet clothing that side.......otherwise Bathroom not too bad.....The Self service restaurant (Lido) had normal basic All inclusive type food.... Nice but basic..... The Compass Rose Restaurant had better food but nothing special and not worth bothering to dress up to go in each night. Waiter in Lido cleared his throat and spat in bin....but otherwise great staff. Compass Rose Restaurant if you don't mind your food thrown at you at times then you will be ok!!!!

Had to pay £15 for the use of the safe in room this is not refundable so quite expensive. We upgraded to all inclusive for £69 before we left and felt this is well worth it but you still have to pay for water (1.80 euros) so we bought ours in the ports for the next day which were mainly 50cents.

The entertainment is very Cheesy and although it got better towards the end of the week it was more like what you get in a holiday camp.
