We flew out from M/C on Sat 3 Dec to Barbados without a hitch which is more than can be said for earlier flights on Fri and those from Gatwick who seemed to have major problems and delays. Embarkation was no problem at all and handled well. we didn't pre book seats and luckily my ife sat directly behind me so it wasn't a problem. Not sure its worth the £50 expense for the benefit
Impressed with Ventura overall, although now showing a few rough edges to common areas. Balcony Stateroom was excellent in terms of quality and comfort.
Sharon our steward was also very good and we got to know her quite well.
Excellent quality balcony cabin, not overlooked or obstructed
Close to midships lifts/stairs which was excellent
No noise from adj cabins or corridor
