Chose this with value for money in mind. You get what you pay for. Free drinks package made it worth while, otherwise the prices are ridiculous. You still have to pay for bottled water which was really expensive and you are not allowed to bring even water on board. Food was average. The first night we ate in Taste restaurant, the one and only time. It was like being in a school canteen. Behind us were 2 large tables with what appeared to be a school trip of Spanish teenage children and the noise was horrendous! Shanghai Noodles complimentary restaurant was good but not enough choice if you want to eat there more than once. Garden restaurant was good for breakfast and lunch. If you don't mind serving yourself I would say the choice was better than the waiter service restaurants. Often saw officers walking about and on other cruises they acknowledged you with a good morning etc but the crew here seemed to ignore you as if you were not even there. Entertainment was very good, scenery, costumes excellent. If you are on a budget it is good value but the words "Butlins at Sea" comes to mind!
