Not too expensive, and you get what you pay for.

We have cruised only once before and that was with Saga. On this occasion we had a Junior Suite (Cabin 404.) The extra expense of the more costly cabin was well worth it; the accommodation was spacious with a good sized bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a large bedroom. Our cabin steward was attentive, hard working and in every way a pleasure to deal with. Fresh flowers and fruit were always in place and we had a large television. This meant that we could spend time in our cabin rather than in the rather small public rooms.

We chose to dine at a table for eight and whilst we all came from different backgrounds we found the company of our fellow diners delightful. Breakfast was a bit of a scrum but the staff tried hard to overcome the slight problems that occurred. We tended to only have a bowl of soup for lunch and this we took in the buffet area where, because of the weather, was rather crowded. Dinner in the evening was a more leisurely affair and our waiter was competent, friendly and very helpful at all times, our wine waitress had a sparkling personality and a phenomenal memory. The wines on board were perfectly adequate.

We felt that the food was reasonably good, it wasn't fine dining but we hadn't expected that it would be.

Cabin Junior Suite

The Junior Suite provided us with a comfortable place to travel in with staff who worked tirelessly to provide all that we needed.
