We went on a short cruise to visit friends of ours who live near Newcastle. It was a short four night cruise, but the cost worked out cheaper in comparison to flying there for all of us etc.
Anyhow I had not been on the ship since its last refurbishment and must say I was very pleasantly surprised in what I saw. Especially the LIDO deck. The new furniture, the big hammocks and lounges just make this place a great area to hang out. Pleasantly too that often a hammock was still available or would become available.
They have also changed their smoking policy again. I do not smoke but heard many smokers complain that they had removed smoking from the LIDO deck. Smokers can now smoke again on Deck 12 LIDO but only forward starboard side.
good inside cabin for 4 pax, sufficient storage, very quiet.
