We thought the relaunch of this PandO ship, which I travelled on many years ago, would provide a different cruise from the normal Med trip. Sadly it was a great disappointment. Despite asking for a twin the cabin was made up as a double. On the first sea day bridge was advertised in the new card room. 25 or so lovely new tables and chairs, board games by the dozen, but NO cards or stationery! There was no foreign currency available - difficult as we were visiting the Faroes and Iceland. A huge screen on the pool deck but no one thought to show Wimbledon tennis until a passenger asked for it to be shown. There was not a great choice of activities during the day and the evening quiz - always popular - was at 10 pm so impossible to attend if you were on second sitting dinner. The entertainment team put on some excellent shows and the staff in the restaurant were excellent and attentive. However I don't think I would take another cruise on Columbus unless there are some drastic changes!
Cabin was clean and bright and well fitted with hanging space and drawers. However there was only ONE power point for charging iPads, phones, hair dryers etc.
