You do sometimes have to wonder if you were on the same cruise as some of the reviewers.Anyway, we had a great time on this 5 night short break.

Friendly staff throughout the ship. We enjoyed lovely food in the main dining room and my gluten free husband had excellent service from the head waiter helping with his choices for the following night. Lovely meal in Sindhu, with excellent staff, a great evening.We didn't go to all of the entertainment and think that Headliners need some new shows as we had seen all of them before. However, there is plenty going on, we enjoyed the Badness tribute band and the live music and the show offs dancing in the atrium each night

Enjoyed Amsterdam, the Van Gogh museum was well worth visiting we pre-booked tickets before travelling and that worked very well to jump a large queue. Caught a bus to Honfleur from Le Havre and had a lovely afternoon in this pretty town. All in all a lovely relaxing break.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin JE

Cabin was fine for a short cruise, wouldn't want the overhang over the balcony on longer trips. Handy for getting to Deck 15. Clean and comfortable.

Port Reviews

Amsterdam

Enjoyed Amsterdam, our first visit for a long while. Enjoyed the scenic sail in along the canal. Easy to walk around. Weather very wet on the second day but we did the canal cruise and visited the Van Gogh Museum. Recommend Tiquets for fast track passes, we jumped a huge queue and were waved in despite being late for our time slot due to the weather and traffic.

Le Havre

Walked around Le Havre but didn't find much there. Luckily they were hosting a Tall ships race so there were events in the harbour and you could see the shipsso that was interesting. Caught a bus to Honfleur which was very easy to do 8 euros return pp. Just have to watch the times as there are not a lot of buses. Enjoyed Honfleur, very pretty with interesting shops and houses and an old harbour. Will definitely return to Normandy.
