Lovely little ship, but you get what you pay for, which is not much.

Cant be bothered to write an essay..but:

Good points:

Loved the ship and the ease with which one could access all decks without using lifts, easy to get between venues.

Cabin Review

Cabin Standard inside single

Cabin titchy, bring some hangers, narrow short twin beds which are fixed, memory foam narrow mattresses, bumpy pillows, and whoever gets this cabin 480 next gets 2 free adaptors which I forgot to remove from the plugs! Nowhere to store bigger cases, not enough hangers, bathroom titchy, stinking drains. Good position quiet, near stairs and easy for dining venues and getting off at ports.

Port Reviews

Amsterdam

Bit of a hike from the port to city. Lovely canal boat trip which is like rush hour on M25...lovely weather. lots of restaurants, and bars. missed anne franks house, queues a mile long.

Antwerp

Ship docked close to town centre, easy stroll. Good shops, good restaurants, lovely weather helped.

Rouen

Well organised, comfy bus trip there and back, lovely weather made whole experience fantastic.

Honfleur

This was an unscheduled stop ... tidal issues or something...what a treat...warm sunny day, lovely harbour, cafe's, ancient buildings, fab.

Le Havre

Complete waste of time. It is what it is, a ferry port, Harwich is more exciting.
