A fantastic cruise, thoroughly relaxing. The ship is awesome, the staff do not stop working hard for you. The cabin steward tidied our room at least twice a day, and the bar staff are constantly keen to bring you drinks (and no tipping required as the ship is cashless). All holiday makers were from the UK and very friendly.

The entertainment helped make a fantastic holiday with something for everyone. We enjoyed an hour of West End songs in the theatre, the Tom Jones tribute act (flown in from the UK), and the game show type entertainment (Who want to be a Millionare, Mr and Mrs, Bingo etc) in the Bounty Lounge with the on board (funny) entertainment staff. We usually finished every night in The Pub bar where there was fantastic live music (Adrian from Romania would do any request on the piano or Guitar and very often had the crowd out of their seats). There were also good entertainment activities on the top deck in the evening and during the day at four (game shows to involve the sunbathers).

All cabins were air conditioned, the only downside are the walls between cabins are a bit thin and you can hear people next door but this wasn't an issue. The shower was always hot and powerful, and our inside cabin was spacious.

Cabin Review

Cabin IN

Inside cabin was more spacious than expected, shower was always hot and powerful (although not much light in there). Cleaned several times a day by the steward. TV with two films showing every 3 hours (latest cinema releases).Beds comfy, the only downside was that the walls were a bit thin. All cabins air conditioned.
