This was our first cruise ,and we must say that it meet everything we wanted ,the only down was as a cider drinker ,there was no draught cider option on board at there was an 18%service charge on drinks purchased at the bar ,so you may want to have all inclusive ?also if you wanted to do extra in the gym ie spin etc it was extra the spa was extra ,shore excursions ,photography ,casino (obvious ) all extra the cruise itself was very good value for money ,we did not make Sweden because of safety ie too much wind,The ffod in the buffet was first class the restaurants were also good but wine with dinner could be pricey and although there is duty free on board you can buy but not consume ,you get given it about 24 hours before you disembark ,The shows were like a west end production every night and there is an happy Hour ?? 17:00 -21:00 which was good if you like Stella or Brown ale
