This was our third cruise, comparing with the Carnival Sunshine and the Thomson Dream.

We booked to stay in a family room at the Holiday Inn in Southampton where we left our car whilst cruising, I highly recommend this hotel. We ate in a pub called the Titanic (huge mistake) and I recommend either eating in the hotel or the nearby shopping centre, West Quay.

Embarkation was excellent, very well organised and we were soon on the ship, a bbq was laid on which was very good. We did have a long wait for our bags so I would suggest packing swimwear in carry-on bags in case the weather is good.

Cabin Review

Outside Twin with Shower (Part-Obstucted View)

Cabin NA

We booked two interior cabins which we found very small. We requested that one room was made up as a double, this was a mistake as the two single beds that they pushed together were of differing heights, this produced quite an uncomfortable double, and my husband and I didn't dare get to close as one of us would end up slipping between the gap in the mattresses.I also found our room extremely cold, I requested a blanket and that the air conditioning be checked as we had turned it up as high as possible and the room still felt cold, I did receive a blanket but as far as I am aware the air con was never fixed.Pool towels were provided.We were woken up several times by noisy neighbours singing at 1am and kids club staff shouting down corridors to each other (they had rooms near us) roughly at midnight.Every morning at 9am the captain did a ship wide announcement......thanks :-/We had a fridge in room and kettle (with tea, coffee and biscuits) and the safe was free.
