Sail Date: Feb 2017
Cabin: Verandah Suite

Chose solely for the Itinerary, 3 days in Lima, allowing for Macchu Pichu trip.

The friendly but sometimes dozy staff, were average best. The cruise director, if you wish to call him that was invisible. Boring sea days, no music, entertainment , bar b ques, 'nada 'at the Vista Pool. The on board entertainment was the worst we've experienced,

We are seniors and we are not dead. If the only place one could dance and party was the Crows Nest, explain how this works when you have shore excursions the next morning. Some guy named Wayne , a piano player -singer who is soooo bad, you wonder who hired this guy. A duo piano-violin players playing the classical tunes to 2,4, 8, or 12 people? It was like walking into a funeral, Total waste of space and time. Did I mention the erratic AC?

Cabin Review

Verandah Suite

Cabin BB

On embarkation, we found the bathroom very poorly prepared. Only one (dirty )glass, the shelves disgusting and the furniture dust deploring. Add in the balcony chairs with the seams under the cushions, filled with food crumbs and who knows what else? plus the daily noise from the pool chairs being moved from 05:30 to 6:00 pm as this cabin is under the vista pool deck.. We even had the guests next door smoking inside, filling our cabin with secondary smoke which we were forced to report.. Our cabin stewart had to change the hair dryer as it was covered in grim, finger prints and gunk!

Also, across the hall from the engineering pool door, resulting in the slamming of the door at different times

2nd HAL and LAST HAL!
