We travelled as a family of four and thoroughly enjoyed our cruise! We had an oceanview room on level 9 with four bunk beds which was fine as we were barely ever in the room. Our cabin steward was lovely and we couldn't praise him enough! When we were in the room, we enjoyed being able to look out of our window at the sunrise/set and there was always a lot of excitement waking up and opening the curtain to check out our next port of call. I couldn't imagine being in a dark room for 7 days so definitely recommend the oceanview.

We dined in the buffet restaurant for breakfast and lunch mostly, as it was easy and had lots of healthier breakfast options. At night we dined in the waterfront restaurant every night at the same table and had the most wonderful waitstaff, not only did they provide exceptional service but they were very knowledgeable and every night they gave us a run down of activities we may enjoy. The food was always delicious in the waterfront restaurant and there was quite a lot to choose from. The entertainment was great, although some of the shows were on really late.. even after 11pm! we struggled to stay up for these ones as there often wasn't a lot to do in the hours leading up to it. The trivia is a lot of fun! We went to a lot of these and enjoyed them all, even though we never won. The cocktails were great and alcohol prices were reasonable. We also purchased a lot of photos as the quality of them was amazing! Favourite area of the ship was probably the oasis area at the rear of the ship, its so nice to lay out and hear the sounds of the sea!
