This sailing I had no brown water. A/C was working. Excellent quality of lecturers. Top class opera group Opera Barcarola. Wonderful violinist in Odyssey Trio. Enjoyed Maritime Memories lecturers also. Internet was working (unlimited minutes if you've sailed with them before) Odyssey Club - free laundry, free internet, bottled water in cabin, upgraded toiletries)

Filipino staff continue to work tirelessly to make the cruise enjoyable. Had 7 days at sea and lots of activities. Wine tasting, watercolour art lessons, trivia night, passenger choir, yoga, Pilates, Zumba (all free!) Air fare and tipping included in cruise price.

Excursions were included along with advice if touring independently in the port. Wine, beer or soft drinks included with dinner. Healthy food choices along with decadent desserts at tea time. Low single supplement. On disembarkation day, out of cabin by 8 am. But able to stay on the ship until 3 p.m. Docked at V&A Waterfront in Cape Town so it was ideal.
