I chose to go on this cruise as I was off work after a knee replacement. My plus one was my mum.

We arrived at the port a little after 12. Bags were dropped with no difficulty. We had to show our printed on line documents & passport before we could enter the hall. Once in the hall we were directed into a line for people with mobility aids where a small area had been set aside for check-in. There was no clear direction at this point of what to do. Eventually a lady came to give us the health forms and took our details. We waited approximately 20 mins to be served and some people who arrived after us were served prior to us. Passports checked, photos taken and we were on our way again, this time to border security. We were again directed to a separate line for people with mobility aids. I had 6 bottles of wine which they put to one side. I signed a room charge for the bottles of wine and we proceeded to embark. We attempted to go to our room to leave the alcohol but the corridor was blocked so we went to the Garden Cafe for lunch. After lunch we headed to our room where our bags were waiting and we met our cabin steward Leo(who was brilliant).

Prior to muster I decided to check out the ship. Other people have commented there were areas of the ship that looked a bit tired. Personally I had no complaints.

Cabin Review

Family Inside

Cabin I1

Our room was located three doors down from the forward lift. The room, a family room was smaller than I expected but adequate for our needs. We had enough room to store our clothes in the wardrobe. I needn't have bought extra coat hangers as our cabin steward said he would have provided more if we had asked. Both suitcases had to go under one bed as one of the beds had a rollaway under it. The bathroom had a separate shower with a sliding screen door. Our cabin steward provided a shower seat for my mother, which would only go in length ways.The position of the toilet was weird and a tall or large person would have difficulty sitting on it properly. On a couple of occasions I heard external noise in the room.
