We sailed from Corfu on October 30th for 10 nights, we were impressed with the cleanliness of the ship, our cabin on deck 6 outside was immaculate, with tv, kettle & fridge, the upper deck by the pools was a bit battered, but very clean. The shows were wonderful though the theatre was dreadful, very restricted views & crushed seating, to get a good view you needed to get there an hour early !!
