Arrived at Southampton and the ship looks huge from the outside and when we walked in you could tell it was all new but also totally geared up for the Chinese market.

Service in the restaurants was extremely rushed so much so that we had to ask for a ten minute break between courses, Wonderland could have been fabulous however we where pushed through the whole meal in just over an hour so a real waste of money. We also did the chefs table after doing this several times on other ships and again what a massive disappointment.
