We did not know what to expect, this being our first cruise, but decided to go for it and glad we did! We packed in loads at our destinations and on board. My husband, who is over 60 ... tried for the first time the Flow Rider and thought it was amazing, with a very patient and encouraging team helping him.

When we booked, our main priority was to visit the destinations, and to be honest, we both hoped the food and accommodation would be ok, but had accepted what will be will be. In fact we found the standard and quality of the food was absolutely fine ... it's not fine dining, but that's not what we expected considering there are 4,500 clients on board from a diversity of cultures. We only ate in the main dining room and Windjammer, but considering they have the task of producing so much food, we thought they did an amazing job. In Windjammer I usually choose food from the side walk going into the restaurant, rather than in the main restaurant itself. We especially enjoyed the oriental curries and there was also a lot of salad and fruit as well. I would definitely recommend the full drinks package .... our favourite cocktail was the Caribbean Cooler! When we had early morning starts we always ate breakfast in Windjammer, it was handy for us as our stateroom was stern of the ship ... so literally just up in the lift and you're there!

Every single member of staff seemed genuinely happy and pleased to see us 100% of the time, and nothing was ever too much trouble ... even if they had to go on a hunt for what we wanted ... no matter what time of day/night it was! They were more than happy to chat and listen to us ... their customer service is exemplary. Read more
