The first thing to say is that we had a really, really good time. Perhaps we're easily pleased, or uncritical, or something, but we found very little that was disappointing and nothing that seriously upset us or detracted from the cruise. That said, we did pick the time and nature of the cruise carefully - I can imagine that a cruise in high summer, with up to 800 children on board, would be different. But on this cruise - 12 nights, late September/ early October, to the Canary Islands - we had a great time.

The cabin was excellent. There isn't a huge amount of space around the bed, but there's enough. Most important of all is the walk-in hanging & shelf area, which takes up quite a bit of the floor area. This is an excellent use of the space, in our opinion, and the fact that all our clothes storage was away from the 'living' part of the cabin made the latter more friendly. One other benefit - it was god to have the walk-in hanging space between the main part of the cabin and the bathroom.

We also enjoyed the balcony. it's quite a sun-trap; the weather on this cruise wasn't especially hot but when we got the sun on the balcony it was pretty roasting out there. There again, that might have been due to the latitude - at 28 degrees north, any direct sun is going to be fairly fierce.
