We are from Cape Town so we did not explore the departure city. Embarkation was difficult because the ship was late due to the weather conditions. We stood in a cue from 12h30 to 6hoo in sun and wind - not pleasurable. Disembarkation was better in Durban,
Ship was clean and staff was friendly. The entertainment provided was pleasant and well organised and executed and the shows were of high standard and a pleasure to attend. i would however just suggest that inside the theatre a bit stricter supervision as alot of people stood in our line of sight and would not move. The cabin was well maintained daily. We dined at the il Covo restaurant and were pleasantly surprised at the friendly welcome we received. The food was very good and the staff efficient. We found the service on the boat very good. we never had any shore excursions. the Cape town port was unpleasant but durban we found pleasant.
