Ok where to start.....firstly let me start by saying that had I not been travelling with another couple I would have got off the ship at the first stop and not got back on, I will try to be as objective and honest as I can, just because I detested every single second I know there were people on the ship who loved it, I suppose it boils down to what you want out of a holiday.

1, boarding and checking in, after sitting on our coach for half hour because the queues were so big inside the terminal, we proceeded inside the terminal and started queuing for over an hour, in boiling heat.

2, first impressions, walking onto the ship I found it very dated, almost 70's/80's in decor the carpets were stained like they were damp or something. The walls looks tatty and dirty, crew members were standing everywhere dishing out squirts of hand gel, at every restaurant door there is hand gel, I understand the reason behind it (noroviras) but don't like to be reminded every 5 mins that I might get sick of course I would rather put gel on than get sick but Found it awful.

Cabin Review

3, cabin, .........awful tin box..... Small plastic, cheap, stained, tatty, rusty ceiling, no shower gel in the container, not really a bother as I had bought my own but if it is there fill it up, she shower was so tiny that when you do try to wash your hair you just bash your arm on the empty shower gel holder I still have à lovely bruise on my arm. My sink leaked my toilet get blocked, although this did get sorted straight away.
