This was the longest cruise we had ever done and I wasn't sure we would find enough to do during all the sea days. I certainly needn't have worried, the days just flew by, if it wasn't our best cruise it came pretty darn close.
Check in in Southampton was smooth and quick, we arrived at the port at our allotted time and within minutes we were on board. No sooner had we checked out our cabin (BB grade balcony, more roomy than expected with a 2 seater sofa) than our luggage arrived.
Our steward Ariel was very kind, always with a smile and our cabin was always beautifully clean.
Larger than we have previously experienced for the same grade with other cruise lines.
