Nice ship which has been quite well refurbished. The staff were generally friendly and our outside cabin was well appointed. The entertainment was first class. The cruise itself was good but due to high winds we only got two out of our three ports of call which was a wee bit disappointing. The big complaint, which explains the two rating, was the food. Shocking. It was cold, regardless of meal time, breakfast, lunch, dinner. We even tried two of the speciality restaurants. Same thing. Food was Luke warm at best and always the same, over cooked meat and undercooked veg. Shame. A wee extra was the only hot food was the grill where you got burgers, hot dogs, pizzas etc. But you paid for that. Another complaint was the casino not being open. We are not gamblers but others were. Nothing was advertised before hand to say it would be shut as cruise was off the coast of WA and rules didn't let them open. Not told beforehand. A small thought for smokers, not well accommodated at all. Last thought beware if coming from UK like us the £39 a day to go for the drinks package and that was per person per day. I don't mind drinking it but didn't want to buy the distillery!!!!!
