Cabin: Outside Twin with Balcony and Shower

At times service in the main bar was particularly bad, waiting 45 minutes just to get a drink, refusing to let you get one from the bar. Areas of the ship discusting filthy, especially the toilets, very stained toilet seats. Public seating areas, fithy, even in the buffet resturant. Entertainment not brilliant although some was good but very repetitive and catered for the o.a.p's! Not all holiday makers were over the age of 65 and wanting to sit around knitting all day or doing the tango to a 1940's tune! Nor did we want to jive everry evening. Formal evenings were a joke, put on your best gear to have dinner, sit on dirty seats and maybe have a picture taken, costing around £20 to buy it, no special evening event, well i suppose you could do a ballroom dance in the foyer. Drinks at the bars although not too expensive, slightly more than in my local but there again my local pays the english taxes whereas the ship does not. Everything was about making money on the ship, go to an event, expect them to try and get you to pay for expensive treatments! The best thing about the cruise ship was the food, you could not go hungry, plenty of choice and great food. If the weather is not great, expect to be bored as there is little to do!

Decor doesn't have the wow factor but pleasent and reasonably tidy. Plenty of room.

Port Reviews

Southampton

Easy embark

Lisbon

Not alot there, approached by many 'dealers'

Lanzarote

Lovely place

Tenerife

The wrong part of Tenerife

Madeira (Funchal)

Beautiful place, the excursions offered by the cruise company was 3 times more expensive than doing it ourselves. Went on cable car, toboggan and had photos done by the photographer for a third of the price.

La Coruna

No beaches, just shopping again!
