We didn't know what to expect when we read reviews on here and there were certainly some complainers onboard but we gave them a wide birth! We loved our cruise. Embarkation only took about an hour in all. The private transfers were organised by our travel agent but the taxi driver dangerously texted while driving and also dropped a case!

Once on the ship we had the first of many delicious meals onboard. As I write this (day 6) I haven't had one meal I didn't thoroughly enjoy. We haven't needed to eat in a speciality restaurant as the complimentary ones are excellent. All the food seems very tasty and authentic to whichever nationality it comes from.

Entertainment is also good. As soon as we had got onboard, after eating we went to get tickets for every day for all the shows as we don't gamble so enjoy live entertainment. We enjoyed graffiti classics who made classical music amusing showing great talent along the way. We didn't stay for all of the 4 Stations set as its not really our thing - there was only 3 as one off sick but I don't think that deterred them played any part in us not liking it. Pricilla Queen of the Desert was just excellent! The costumes, the choreography and sets were just top notch and definitely West End quality. Soul Satisfaction were also a delight and very close to the originals. They had many of us clapping and dancing in the aisles by the end! Read more
