Having read some really negative reviews after we had booked this cruise my wife and I were a bit worried that some of them may be accurate. No worries though, the rust bucket with a surely crew serving up the worst food and entertainment ever seen or tasted turned out to be the complete opposite.

Our fellow diners on our table for 8 all told a similar tale, the negative reviews in no way reflected their on board experiences. As we walked back towards ship when in port, exiting crew always gave us a cheery smile and a hello. Cabin steward Zino couldn`t have been more helpful.

Plenty of entertainment and so good to see virtually everyone dressing properly for dinner. Dancing was hosted superbly by Jeffrey and Brenda. Read more
