The only down part of the whole experience was the long wait at Southampton,
due to an outbreak of Norovirus where they had to sanitize the ship. When you see the size of her you can see this is no easy task.We arrived early at about 11.00am our luggage was unloaded and we parked up.They put on shuttle buses into town, we took the first bus back at about 2.30pm,they opened check in at about 3.00pm although boarding didn't start until 5.30.pm all 3000 + passengers were on board by 8.00 pm.We set sail at 8.30pm 4 hours late.
even with the constant cleaning and sanitizing and hard work of all the staff we had an outbreak of the virus.
Great balcony in a quiet location, well planed room plenty of space under the bed for you cases.
