Cabin: Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

We joined 2 other couple for our 3rd family reunion cruise, this one from Southampton through France, Spain and Portugal.

The rooms were quiet, clean and reasonable well maintained, carpets need a good shampooing though. Dining varied, we chose my time dining and was rewarded with great service from the same team nightly, the meals were well prepared and tasty. Lunch was a typical buffet style, bland, temerature varied from cold to cool, we tried one of the restaurants and received soggy bread, green tomato core in sandwich and cold chips (fries), the others in the group didn't fare any better. Breakfasts were of the same calibre.

Entertainment, headliner acts were well worth watching but unfortunately the onboard entertainment was of low quality with the exception of the ice skaters who received a standing ovation on each show. The 4 singers competed to be the loudest, and the show "under the big top" was of the quality our 6 year old grandchildren wouldn't have enjoyed it.
