Sail Date: Apr 2017

We chose this cruise because we liked the itinerary.

Age group 60 - 90 years of age. Very elderly frail clientele - not a good combination with rough seas so we were greeted with 2 ambulances on the dockside at our first port stop. An emergency helicopter evacuation of a patient also took place.

We were worried about the full evacuation process should an emergency arise with the numbers of frail elderly and people with walking difficulties aboard.

Cabin Review

Cabin Standard plus

EXTREMELY NOISY due to engine noise being transmitted up through the deck below. Bathroom extremely noisy due to waves CRASHING against the sides of the ship. Our beds vibrated when the engine was in use during the night. Good size. Dev our cabin steward was excellent.
