Additional details
We joined the waiting line (from our Southampton hotel) for passengers at about 12.45 on Saturday 31 oct 2015 (embarkation time ~13.00). After initial formalities we were asked to go upstairs and sit in the waiting area. Upstairs we went and looked for a seat. None to be seen. Eventually a small table became available for my wife to sit down while we waited. It was while we were waiting that it dawned on us that a majority of passengers in the waiting hall were chancers. They arrived early on the off chance they could embark ahead of their embarkation time, thereby clogging up the system. For heavens sake; if you have an embarkation time then stick to it.
Found our cabin and introduced ourselves to our very capable and happy stewardess.
We had booked "THE EPICUREAN " for our wedding anniversary. This is what I found :-
Cabin Review
Outside Twin with Balcony and Shower
Stepped into cabin and saw the full length hanging rail. What a fantastic improvement. Even the smalls cupboard has been improved. I felt that the balcony was a bit on the small side
