We chose this cruise due to the fact as we have been on five other cruises with TUI (Thomson) and were happy with the overall holiday company.
This ship lacked the atmosphere other ships had? The entertainment was very poor compared to other ships we have experienced with TUI. A four piece band without lead guitar, two duos and a couple of pianists.
Most nights we went to The Venue lounge but this I feel was not used to it's full potential and closed most evenings at 11.00pm which was unacceptable as customers had to either go to the Live Bar or Bar 11 which could not cope with the numbers, this only causing problems being served also not enough seating. Bar 11 is wrongly designed to be a disco as it is on two levels also not enough seating and unable to see dance floor from the lower level.
Cabin was a little larger than usual, quite comfortable and very well looked after by the Cabin Stewards.
The Ports of call were excellent we went ashore at every Port. All were very picturesque and easy to walk and visit.
