Sail Date: Feb 2017

Last minute deal, cheap, did no research, should have looked at reports on BBC news from 2014 it would have given some idea of what to expect. Our table staff and steward were very good but they had very little influence on standards. The food sometimes tolerable but in the main it was poor fare, even down to the fact that eggs had to be cooked solid in an attempt to avoid salmonella. The entertainment was of the lowest standard,3 supposed comedians in 5 weeks plus resident dancers who doubled as hosts. I do not have the time to list all of the points of dissatisfaction so people will have to make their own minds up. I will mention the fact that tendering with their lifeboats was a disaster as in Jamaica they had to build a step on quayside as the tender was to low in the water and in Georgetown they said the sea was to rough, which it wasn't, so goodness knows what would happen if there was an emergency.

Comfortable enough and kept clean rust and water around the Windows was unnerving given the ships past history
