This was our first ever cruise. It was amazing. Right from the time of parking the car at Southampton until we actually boarded the ship everything was so organised and efficient. Food was plentiful and the presentation was first class. Accommodation was brilliant and so was the entertainment. The spa on the ship was wonderful with very professional staff and the gym was brilliant too. It was absolutely faultless. So much so we have booked again for next year with the same ship. Every time we docked everything was explained to us. It is not everso formal but you do get a chance to dress up if you feel the need. Very mixed age group and every age is catered for. There was always something to do and everywhere was so clean. Just couldn't believe it. Not one speck of dirt anywhere and all the crew members just wanted to help and assist you. They were very very friendly without being overpowering. When the cruise came to an end and we left the ship, there was no long wait and everything was made so easy. Never wanted it to end.
