We returned yesterday from our 8 night cruise to the islands of the South Pacific which we enjoyed very much. I travelled with friend and her two young daughters and as we're on a strict budget, we found this holiday extremely good value for money.

Embarkation took a little while as our check-in lady seemed to be having multiple computer challenges or perhaps she was inexperienced but we got there in the end. It wasn't hard to find our cabin and although a little squishy for the four of us (kids are eight and 11 years old), we found we did ok. There was certainly adequate cupboard and drawer space for all our stuff and room under the beds for the empty suitcases. All the amenities in our cabin were perfectly adequate for us and the cabin was clean, as was the adjoining bathroom. The pull-out clothes line in the bathroom could have been a bit longer - it was only the width of the shower and therefore only good for drying one or two bathing suit items at a time - I have previously travelled on P&O and their clothes line was twice the length, but really it was only a small fault.

Our cabin steward Made, from Indonesia, was very friendly and helpful and made a point of remembering all our names from Day One. He did not intrude at inappropriate times and also had our cabin looking great. The kids especially loved the towel animal creations he left for them during the nightly turn-down service.

Cabin Review

Cabin 5A

We were underneath Club Cool which had loud music every night and this kept us adults awake. Next time I think we would be more choosy with the location of our cabin and get one away from the public rooms. We had plenty of cupboard space, not a lot of floor space. We tended to get on top of each other a little bit but you get that with two boisterous kids in a confined space.
