First, the good points.

Beautiful ship, very clean, cabins excellent, wonderful theatre, buffet food excellent, destinations worth visiting again (but NOT on a cruise ship), catering, cabin and bar staff wonderful (virtually all Indonesian, really nice people).

The bad bits far outweigh the good bits and made it very difficult for us to enjoy the holiday. There were 8 of us in 4 cabins. The ship catered for 2500 people, over 50% of which were under 45 with quite a few children (despite our booking being within school term). The pool area was mobbed, with inane dance lessons from the entertainment team using a tannoy, extreme noise. As a result we never got to use the pool area. At Santorini, 3 cruise ships anchored at the same time. We spent 4 hours on the island, 2.5 of which were spent queueing for the cable car and tender to the ship. It was chaotic and quite unnerving; people can be very ill mannered when in a mass queue.

Cabin Review

Cabin 12

very happy, we were on Port side and seemed to have the sun most of the time, a little small but generally functional and pleasant
