The embarkation in Southampton was excellent & we were aboard within 20.mins. of arriving.We did arrive quite early about 12noon.
Great news we had been given complimentary upgrades of cabins.We booked inside & were upgraded to outside with restricted views.Made a huge difference I guess we will be booking outside cabins in future!
The "Stateroom" was great with all you need & Roberto looked after us extremely well throughout the cruise.
E325 whilst having a restricted view is well placed adjacent to the low part of the lifeboat so the restriction is not much at all.However is quite noisy from ships plant.
E516 again restricted view not too bad but you can clearly hear the band from Explorers lounge the deck below.
