Sail Date: Dec 2016
Cabin: Balcony Stateroom with Shower

Boarding smooth with minimum waiting at Southampton, Once on board quick wash and upto the buffet (Plaza) while luggage arrived. Had a ham salad which was fresh then a scone which was anything but nice - just a blob of baked dough and has not improved. Meals at the Ligurian (free time dining) have been of a mixed standard and waiting staff very helpful and pleasant ready to replace dishes not up to standard, tried the Cafe Jardin for dinner which was worth the extra £7.50 each - but lunch there (no charge) was a mistake the tuna baguette was stale and soggy the quiche had its bottom burnt to a point of being uneatable we made our thoughts known and retreated to the Plaza buffet.

Our state room cabin Grade H8 balcony was a real disappointment, small cramped and worn with little storage space, we lived out of our cases. Bathroom dated and in urgent need of a make over, blocked shower cleared quickly.

Bar areas worn with faded cushions, staff are friendly, drinks reasonably priced - g&t £5.25, whiskey £3-£3.95 Costa coffee £2.10ish Americana always flat and never a crema but cracked it by ordering double expresso with hot water separate, beer £3.50/£4.50 pint, bottle 500ml £3.85. Wine plenty choice between £16 and £22.50 per bottle. No service charges on bar bills.
