This was sold to us as a top of the range 5 star luxury cruise...it's not, it barley scrapes into 4 stars.

Food :- Lacked continuity, sometimes OK, Breakfast in the Terraza was pretty poor and this ship gets my vote for serving the worst breakfast coffee I have ever had in the world.

The food we paid for in La Dame was very good, is there a reason this does not happen in all the other eating areas. Also apart from one area you book in advance for other venues, unaware of this to begin with when we tried to book we were put on a waiting list and rarley got in. So disappointing food all round really.

Cabins:- very nice but dated, I do believe this ship is going in for a refurb.

Excursions ;- Who would pay a whopping $799 dollars yes $799 for a private car for 4 hours, your havin a laugh. All shore excursions were hugley overpriced.

The staff were all very good and helpful, we didnt really need a butler so didn't bother ours very much if at all. 

Drink selection was excellent, the champagne flowed freely and was good quality.

Entertainment was fine..better when they kept it simple and just had a bit of a disco on the deck....what you would expect really.

Our problem with this cruise was that it was oversold and overpriced, Had I paid a couple of thousand less then I would have said it was OK but this is not 5 star and shouldn't be sold as such. Dressing people up in tailcoats and white gloves doesn't make it 5 star. Send your management to an Oberio or Four Seasons hotel to find out what luxury is, and send your head chefs along as well.

So approach with caution and would I go again, clearly not.

Who decides what's 5 star?
