Firstly let me give a big thanks to our waiting staff Romel and Nicole as I know they are going to read this, also thanks to James our steward all of whom did an excellent job.

The embarkation was very quick but we had priority boarding so not sure how it was for others. once on board I noticed that the Union Flag was upside down (ship in distress) so I told one of the officers who did not know there was a right and wrong way, he did phone the bridge and it was taken down. I know it may sound pedantic but it is a serious maritime mistake and also an insult to the country they are in. I am sure there would be complaints if the American flag was upside down in Miami.

I will start with the condition of the ship, it has been in for a refit, but I think they must have done another ship as it looks very shabby in places. everywhere seems over crowded and finding a space to sit in the evenings is a joke, people are running out of the theatre before the show ended just to bag a place, so all the row had to stand up while they passed.
