We booked the week before travel; the entire operation was seamless from doping our suit cases at Gatwick airport to having them delivered to our cabin on the ship
Our cabin was on deck 1, in some ways I think this is better then higher up (unless you are in a deluxe suite) as the ships roll has less effect lower down
This was a nice touch no queuing up at the baggage carousel, as this was the first time we have been on a cruise ship we have nothing to compare it against, the trip overall was fantastic, the staff never seem to stop working, the cabin was kept immaculate, the restaurant and bars and all public areas spotless, yes she is a grand old lady but as the saying go’s you can get may a good tune from an old fiddle
