We wanted a relaxing holiday at sea aqnd that is what we got. The area was important in that it was a relatively short flight - most of the places we had visited previously so they were not that important. We tend to choose cruises as they suit us and are not highly influenced by the cruise lime.
We had no problems with embarkation or disembarkation. Our cabin was as we expected although we were surprised by the great amount of storage space for clothes.:) We had the most wonderful cabin steward "Orlando" who always greeted us with a happy disposition. My leg had been broken just prior to the cruise and we only had to ask once for extra ice to be delivered.
My husband always managed to get his card too close to his mobile at ;east once during a cruise but the replacement was easily done. We had some dealing with the internet usage staff and our questions were handled promptly.
