The weather was cold and snowy on the way from Cheshire to Southampton but we managed to drive there without a hitch. Staying at the Holiday in overnight was good and the short taxi journey in the morning easy. The temperature was a sunny minus 4 degrees. Due to nearly two thousand people boarding at once the embarkation took some time but was handled efficiently. We went to our stateroom 4153 and then for lunch in the Lido Restaurant while the luggage found it's way to our room.
ADEQUATE
We found the Cabin to be very well endowed with storage space, even to drawers below the bedside tables and storage beneath the beds. There is a good-sized dressing Table with laptop space and a variety of electrical sockets. Although the bathroom is small it has plenty of shelf space and is very practical and adequate. The balcony is large: about eleven feet (3.3metres) by seven feet by (2.1 metres) with two comfortable chairs and a small table.
