So after reading all the negative reviews, this lead us to suspect that maybe we didn't make the right choice but I'm now glad we did!
The ship is tired but this never bothered us as most of the interior of the ship remained very clean. Dining options are good - We often went to the 'Lido' for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner buffet. We also went to the Compass rose a few times and must say, especially in the evening, the food here is very nice. Although we had plenty of time, our party was never in the mood for Sirocco's A la Carte so I cannot really review that...
The staff must be this ship's greatest feature - They were all extremely helpful and smiling no matter the situation and this made for a great time!
Perhaps we were happier than many of the reviews describe because of the fact that we had a suite and, this being our first cruise, we had no expectations.
The cabin was very spacious and suited the needs of three people - The suite windows are partially obstructed by lifeboats (which sounded a nuisance) until we arrived at the cabin and realised that only the bottom quarter was even slightly covered so the view was good too.
