We booked this cruise without reading any reviews just by listening to our travel agent. However when I went on to read reviews we can honestly say we were dreading it.
We flew into Funchal from our local airport on arrival everything went very well and it was not long till we were on the mini bus taking us to the ship.
Saw the ship on the horizon and it looked ok. Got on board and again the embarkation process went well.
Very cosy but adequate for a week would not have wanted to spend a long time in cabin. But as a base it was ok. Lovely big window not a tiny porthole. Plenty of storage space for a week.
