The flight from Manchester to Barbados (Thomson) was comfortable but the service was terrible and the food no better. The transfer to the ship and the embarkation was extremely efficient as usual in Barbados. On return we were delayed - expected these days - but service again was really poor.
Cabins are absolutely fine - bathroom very tiny but OK.
Food in the Waterside was OK but the salad bar and cold buffet selection was the poorest I have ever seen. If you have been to a Pizza hut and paid £1 extra to allow you to go to the salad bar then this was it. Bowls of cherry tomatoes, sweetcorn, tasteless potato salad, chopped lettuce, pasta salad, and grated carrot - every day. You had the choice of wafer thin tasteless ham or crab sticks or a piece of smoked haddock. Never saw prawns or salmon as on other cruises.
Small bathroom but adeqaute - had canopy above us on the verandha and was pleased as not overlooked. Lower decks with balconies were overlooked by us and therefore no privacy at all.
Tea & coffee making facilities good except that the cups were glass in stainless steel holders. Could not drink out of them and brought cups down from the restaurant.
