Sail Date: Jul 2017

This ship has been sailing with CMV for 2 months now and the teething problems reported by other reviewers seem to have been pretty much fixed. All procedures went very smoothly and staff were helpful and friendly. The cabin was comfortable and the cabin steward very efficient - we did have a problem one morning with a blockage in the toilet system which affected a section of the ship and there was some flooding in the bathroom, but the steward cleaned it up and the problem was fixed. The food was excellent with plenty of choice - it was easy to eat too much! There was a choice of waiter service (Waterfront restaurant) or self service (Plantation bistro) for each meal - alcoholic drinks were extra though.The shore excursions were all well-organised and of a high standard. The only drawback was that in Sweden we docked at Nynashamn (apparently cheaper than Stockholm) which meant a 1 hour journey to Stockholm, reducing the time available there. The evening entertainment was varied, I loved the violin and piano recitals, and there were craft workshops, lectures and quizzes, to keep you occupied, especially on days at sea.
