First cruise. Not the best experience !. A very dated, dull, old, bland `cruise` ship that was no more than a bit of driftwood. It felt like being on a Channel ferry.
I have to say all the staff were excellent and very hard working. The Mistral Restaurant ( waiter service ) was excellent too. Great food.
The rest of the food in other restaurant's and buffet were just average food. I hated having to queue every morning just to be given a cup of tea. Why can`t I be trusted to make my own cup of tea. I am over 5 years old now.
Cabin was okay. Bed was very comfortable. I was not impressed with the 2 bottles of water left out. I assumed it was a wee complimentary bottle of water as it was not kept in the mini-bar. We got an invoice for the water next day. Devious of them !
Expensive for a 3 hour tour of the market. £60
Fantastic place. Loved everything about Madeira.
