Boarding was delayed due to the previous cruise being affected by an outbreak of a virus and the ship having to undergo a "deep-clean" but we were informed via email of this fact. Despite this boarding went smoothly and we were eventually allowed access to our cabin at about 4pm. The cabin itself was spacious with comfy beds and ample storage including space under the bed for the suitcases.
The excursions need to be studied very carefully, firstly they are not all as described, if of a senior nature. Like me. A lot of the trips unable to do because of the many steps and slopes involved. All the tour guides seem to disappear into the distance and finish their description by the time we caught up. After the first excursion we did our own thing and found it much more easier.
At most of the ports our berth was quite a way out, and shuttle buses laid on, and one had to pay either $10 or $15 per person, one of many hidden charges we found on board i.e. espresso /cappuccino coffee had to be charged to onboard account. Only Tea , reg./decaf. coffee and ice water in the cafes were free.
