We chose this cruise because we wanted to go to Maderia. The timing was right and flying in and out of Heathrow was easy. I enjoyed it even more than I expected.
Boarding and disembarkation went quickly and easily. A huge difference from our Celebrity cruise out of Amsterdam last year.
We tried to avoid the buffet for most meals. It's just too crowded. When we did eat there the food was good. We went to the dining room when it was an option. It's our vacation and I want to be served, not line up and hunt for a table and utensils.
Always nice. This cabin was too forward for our preference. We seemed to be constantly walking to an elevator.
