We have just returned from our Escape to the Med cruise. As we enjoyed it so much last year we persuaded my sister and her husband to come with us (they had never been on a cruise before). We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and now they are talking about doing another cruise next year.

I agree with the other reviews - whilst the ship in some areas seems a little "tired" and in need of a bit of a refurb - it certainly is not dirty. The cabins are cleaned in the morning and again in the evening, and at the end of the day the duvets are turned down and the bedside lamps turned on - a nice touch. If you need anything your cabin attendant will go out of his way to make sure you get it. We had a problem with the air con, mentioned it to him and he had a chap come to fix it more or less straight away - that's service!

We were on deck 7 mid-ship and we had paid the extra £39 to book our cabin, as we were pleased with this location last year. I think it is better if you pay a little extra and have an outside cabin - on deck 5 or higher. My sister had booked a Premier cabin on deck 8 and they were happy with it. They had a slight problem with the shower - mentioned it to the cabin attendant and five minutes later he returned with another chap and corrected the fault - great! Read more
