Additional details

Sail Date: Jan 2017

The ship looked appealing, not too big (917), cabin spacious, inclusive trips every day, visited 10 islands (never been to Caribbean before so ideal), 11 day break ideal time span, entertainment geared to over 50s. We were not disappointed in any of the above.

The food was excellent in variety and service. We particularly enjoyed the themed nights in the Chef's Table (with premium wine pairings if you have Silver Spirits beverage package).

The entertainment was a pleasant surprise as the singers and dancers were of a high quality and Ray Michaels, the cruise director, charmed the audience every night.

Cabin Review

Loved the space: comfortably large bed; excellent washroom facilities; mini-bar filled daily; steward Albert first class; didn't fill all of the many drawers provided; sat on the balcony every day as we arrived / left new port of call.

Loved the walking part but spent too long at the fort. Knowledgeable guide.

Barbados
