We sailed to and from Southampton to the West Mediterranean. Most fellow guests were Brits, and average age seemed much lower than P&O/Fred Olsen cruises we previously did. Embarkation and disembarkation extremely efficient.

The staff were amazing - always friendly, and extremely helpful no matter what the problem, which has not been the case on other lines we have travelled with.

The facilities on the ship are superb. Climbing wall was a great thing to have, and was generally open for much of the day. Ice-skating fun, though availability somewhat limited and we only made it once. You really need to look out for when it's on, and go ahead of time as there was a long queue. Mini-golf was fun provided it was not windy, and 6 table tennis tables, so could normally find a free table, though might have been nice to have some inside for when it was too windy. There was so much to do that it was difficult to do everything - we never made it on the flowrider. Shuffle board was disappointing: we could only find one board on deck 4 in an area where several easily would have fitted, so we never got to play.
