We booked this cruise after cruising on Quantum 2 years ago so we knew what to expect. Our check in time was 4pm and we were soaking wet after being caught in the rain in Singapore. As soon as we got on we had to do the safety drill which finished at 5 and then we had a notice saying that our dinner was 5.30 for that night. We were wet and our luggage was not delivered (even though we dripped it of at 10am) so we had to run around trying to find the bags and then have showers in half an hour. We also had to chase towels as we were only given 2 (there were 3 of us).

The food was ok but did notice a decline from the last cruise. They also charged for lobster which was free on Quantum. Windjammers was always packed.We didn't do the specialty restaurants as we had done them all before. On the first night we were allocated the solarium for dinner which was a nice meal but as we arrived they were telling other people that they couldn't dine there as they didn't have reservations. They were not happy seeing that the restaurant was empty.The whole time we were eating the restaurant was half empty.

Our 12 year old son loved the living room and would most nights get in after us. He lived on the flow rider and in the seaplex. Read more
