Sail Date: Jan 2017
Cabin: Superior Inside
I had the Cruise booked for me by my Daughter, direct with Fred Olson. I had never been on a cruise before, except across the Mersey and to the Isle of Man once, many years ago.
Arrived at Southampton to be kept waiting whilst 'Green and Yellow Boarding cards were embarked first, I had a white one.
One on board everything was fine, until I went to Dinner in the Ballindoch Restaurant, table 111 on second sitting.
Cabin Review
Superior Inside
Cabin G
RUBBISH !!!
As I put in the main review, No overhead reading light, No radio, no clear sign on how to turn the bedside light off.
I have photographs of the cabin, but it appears no where on this site to upload them to.

Went shopping in C&A
Madeira (Funchal)
Went up the cable car to the gardens only 15E Fred Olson wanted £58 as the cable car is only 10 min stroll from the docks, along the water front - I considered it a rip off
