We chose this for the route it took.The poor weather at one point unfortunately meant the itinerary was slightly amended. no big deal. The self service restaurant was disappointing on busy days.It clearly couldnt cope. By day 3 notices were placed on tables asking people to leave at end of eating. The ship has notices around pool and solarium areas asking guests not to "reserve" sunbeds etc by placing belongings on them. The same should be done in self service restaurant.This was the most disappointing part of the overall experience.

The ports of call and the excursions were good. The entertainment on board was very varied and average.Service in main dining room was very good as was quality of food.

In summing up I would say that the cruise has made me think about what size ship we might best travel on for our next voyage. We made enquiries about a particular route whilst on board in order to "grab a bargain", but decided we need a company with a smaller ship. Dont want to experience the free for all chaos again at meal times.
