Had done similar one before and enjoyed it. Loved everything about the ship -cleanliness,variety and quality of food,friendliness of staff. Weather was more unsettled than last time. Fortunately dry and sunny on sea days,but showers in Messina,Corfu,Venice and Zadar and much cooler than expected especially in Corfu.
Embarkation was the smoothest we have ever had. Arrived at 11.45 ar QE2 terminal and proceeded directly to ship.Told to go to Lido as cabins were not yet ready but had a quick snack then announcement that we could go to cabins.Disembarkation was also smooth. Did not go on organised tours as we prefer to sight see on our own.
Excellent concerts from string quartet and violin/cello duo. Not interested in shows so cannot comment on them. Good selection of films in theatre on afternoons although we went to one only as weather was good.
Spotlessly clean and comfortable.Attentive steward. Usually serviced while we were at breakfast
No excursion.Always travel to Southampton the before embarkation and enjoy the West Quay shopping centre
