We chose this cruise as a special holiday after not having one for a couple of years due to paying for two weddings! (Thanks girls). It was our first cruise with Cunard although we have cruised before with other lines. The itinery included some ports we had visited before and a couple of new ones (Gibraltar and Korcula) and also Venice which we were keen to do again as it was winter and very cold on our previous visit.

Boarding was fast, smooth and trouble free and our luggage was in our stateroom when we arrived. Our room (regular balcony deck 7) was very comfortable with plenty of storage space and lots of room to move around. The balcony was a good size and not overlooked although some of them could be so check the deck plans carefully when booking if this is an issue for you.

We had a wonderful cruise and found the ship to be very comfortable and well designed. We dined in the Britannia restaurant and were fortunate to have splendid dining companions - we laughed so much and genuinely looked forward to eating every night. The food was excellent and the service was friendly and efficient. Read more
