My mother has been telling me for years that we would love a cruise holiday we eventually gave in and booked one just to keep her quiet. Our teenage children insisted that they wouldn't join us if the ship didn't have a climbing wall and an ice rink which is how we came to be boarding the Voyager of the Seas for her journey round the Adriatic.
We had high expectations and were not disappointed. The ship is terrific. It looks splendid from the first moment you get on board. Perhaps if you have cruised on a number of occasions you might get blase about the grandeur of the vessels but as first time cruisers we were impressed.
The Windjammer offers an enormous variety of foods- we especially liked the fresh fruits at breakfast, the burgers at lunchtime but in a week we weren't able to sample everything on offer. The evening meal in the main restaurant was a daily highlight. The choice was always interesting and the quality very good. try something different- the cold fruity soups were lovely.
Very good, a bit cramped for four and the sofa bed is a bit hard to sleep on but no real complaints. The kids loved the beds. The balcony is well worth paying a little extra for.
The room was spotlessly clean, well equipped and the steward was brilliant- they all were.
