Our first impression of the Eden was how good the refurbishment looked. the ship looked amazing. Our room was also a pleasant surprise it was very large and had a bath which made my wife very happy.We had an ocean view room on deck 5 and it was in very goo d condition to some of the other rooms as we found out later. We could not fault our room and our cabin steward was great. nothing was a bother for her. Our room was always tidy from here and our bed was made up every day which was great. We had a premium drinks package which was great as all our alcohol drinks were included including cocktails and top shelf spirits and beers. We tried the pantry the first night on board and was disappointed with the Indian curry i had as it had no taste and the beef was very chewy.

We ate there a few time for breakfast and dinner but even though the food liked great it was only about canteen quality. A bit of a shame as the concept is a great idea. Next we ate is the Water Front restaurant but again we were disappointed with the menu and the quality of the food . The menu is to restricted and there are no options if you do not like what is on the menu. Princess for instance has a set menu other then the main nightly menu were you can choose something else if you do not like what is on the menu. When we did eat at the Water Front the food was average.The only time the menu seemed reasonable was lunch time when they had hamburgers, fish, salads and toasted sandwiches. we also ate in Anglo's which was better food but also a restricted menu. The same for the Dragon Lady restaurant the food was nice but also restricted menu.The pool area and bar areas were great and the bar stewards were great very friendly and polite. The service was also very good.The tour desk staff the were not helpful at all and they had not much knowledge on the tours they were advertising. Our best dinning experience was at Salt Grill. The food was excellent and the service was very good. It cost $49 per person for 3 courses but well worth it. We were lucky as we still had on board credit which payed for it . as for the shows they were good but we had the same shows for 2 weeks. Over all we had a great cruise and meet plenty of new friends a visited countries we have not been to before.

Cabin Review

Our cabin was on deck 5 ocean view mid ship starboard side. We could not fault our room it was big clean and in very good condition. it also had a bath and the bathroom was quite big . Our bed was very comfortable and plenty of cupboard space. Our room stewards were fantastic.
