It was advertised as a cruise to remember and it was,the service was impeccable the crew were most helpful,Val was great always there to help and advise.the wines were great as was the great coffee.shamethe captains speech on the last night was so abrupt cheers and that was it.hardly worth waiting for.it was the only time I saw him speak,The only problem we found, was the food was not very satisfactory not hot enough, often over cooked,plus the portion size was minuscule,we have had many trips including the orient express,silver seas,but none served up such small portions,haveing said all this we enjoyed the the ambience and the fellow passengers, th cabins were ok ,the bed most comfortable,tv selection was good,and the ships information. Was very good,embarkation was faultless,as was disembartion,cabin crew were very good,seen but not heard,the waiting staff and bar staff were all most helpful and polite, nothing was to much trouble the were a good team. a/c was perfect,and where the ship docked was always a place close enough to walk to town,which we did at every opportunity.
