Boarding the ship at Southampton was poetry, so smooth and professional. Ventured around the ship and found it spotless, staff very helpfull and quick to serve.

The food in the restaraunts was very good, we did not venture into the 24hr one. Getting served at some bars was a nightmare but overall couldnt complain, the staff are hard working polite people, regarding the tips, we have always opted out of paying the 6 euros because if you speak to the staff, they will inform you that they never recieve anything.
