Sail Date: May 2017
Cabin: Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

While acknowledging the criticisms from other cruisers I have to say we did not experience any of those problems. We found staff to be friendly and helpful, especially the staff in main dining room and our stateroom attendant. Stateroom was clean and a good size. Entertainment was very good and we had no difficulty getting seats for the shows we wanted to see. Food was good, in our opinion, and we always found something we liked. we only ate lunch in Windjammer but again we thought there was plenty of choice. The only thing we could complain about was the cost of some excursions, especially when they were just dropping off and picking up later. Weather was not always good for sunbathing but we were able to find a sunbed when we wanted one but did notice there were still people leaving towels on sunbeds for long periods! All in all we had a great time.

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Clean, good size. Sebastian our stateroom attendant was friendly and helpful.

Port Reviews

Vigo

Informative guide, saw most areas of interest. However it was a Bank Holiday and most of the big shops were shut.

Tenerife

Able to walk into town from ship, took about 15-20 mins. There were also free shuttle buses available.

Lisbon

Hop on/hop off bus. Just outside port in easy walking distance.

La Coruna

Port area very pretty, long promenade. Took short tour with local company to see the main sites of interest. Town within easy walking distance from port.
