I was joining a Church group of 55 people from Naples Florida. We came over by coach and the embarkation went fairly well, we did have a long line, even though we were in Concierge, but it did not take as long as we feared. We finally got on the ship at 12.30 and it was suggested we go and have lunch as we could not have our cabin until 1pm, but as we had our carry on bags with us we did not want to do this, my friend is 91 years old and I was looking after her bag as well as my own. We sat in the card room for half an hour, then left our bags in our cabin and went off to lunch in the cafe.

We were looked after really well and were allocated a semi-private area of the dining room which was lovely. We were able to sit anywhere in that area which enabled us to sit beside different people every night.

Our cabin was lovely, very comfortable beds and our cabin steward was excellent. The wardrobe was good and had more than enough hangers for our clothes. Only complaint was the 3 deep drawers would have been better with 4 smaller drawers. Read more
