We decided to combine 2 cruises, as we had never previously visited the ports of call on the first cruise, and knew we would enjoy the second cruise ports.
Arrived on Friday in Southampton to wonderful weather, but on Saturday, it was much colder.
Embarking was relatively simple & quick. When we got to our JS on deck 9, we found our cases waiting for us....best ever service. We kept this suite for the duration of our time onboard...3 weeks in total.
Tony Silva, our SRA, kept the room spotlessly clean, although, we didn't leave it in much of a mess ! Our balcony got the sun for part of the day, but we were glad of that, as it would have been too hot to sit in the searing sun, on the second cruise, all of the time.
There was plenty of storage in the walk in closet, & sufficient drawers in the bedroom.
The over the bath shower was powerful & hot.
Towels were soft & fluffy, replaced often, as were the toiletries.
