50th birthday pressie for hubby. Ship is gorgeous and immaculate, Cabins are superb, balcony a little on the small size.

Food - bit samey, not very warm, got "told off" by one of the many staff standing around for eating a chip from my plate whilst walking to my table !! Meat was fatty or tough, chicken dishes were dry but pork was very nice. Puddings weren't great, no taste, rock hard bases and soggy pastry.

Staff are either over zealous in clearing the tables before you've finished your meal, I lost count of the times we came back with our main only for the table to be cleared even though my bag and coat were on the chair !! This happened most days, came back twice to find someone else at the table. Tables aren't laid out very well with a lot of high bistro type tables that were set for four. We had a couple just plonk themselves down on our table but then had to eat whilst holding a plate in the air as there wasn't enough room to put it down. Trips are expensive for what they are, lots of extras on the ship to pay out for, ie decent coffee and coke plus all alcohol unless you paid an extra $49 per person per day. Read more
