Have cruised several times before with RCL, Cunard & P&O and after seeing some negative reviews on here was sceptical, absolutely no idea what they are talking about though!

Was by far the best cruise I've taken. Embarkation was probably the quickest I've experienced despite the ship being full.

Ship was fantastic - basically new, great facilities, very clean. Plenty of bars & lounges (inside and out), great nightclub open every night, large casino, 3 large outside pools, a big & modern gym, plenty of jacuzzis & an over 18's pool too, big water-slide (used by both adults & children) & a water adventure playground for children - all very well supervised. Spa had good treatments but very expensive - be careful when booking - a treatment you may pay full price for on one day often was discounted to as much as 50% the next day & the sauna & steam room incurred a high additional charge - these were the only downside. However in terms of the ship itself, it was very lively with a great atmosphere & something to do for everyone - a mainly younger clientele compared to other cruises (I'd estimate a mainly 16-50 age group) and also lots of children but this was never an issue.
