We like the repositioning cruises as you can go to ports not on the regular schedules and with only 4 days on the crossing part a real bonus .Gran Canaria to Cape Verde then over direct west to Barbados,Grenada,ABC isles then port of Colon ( as its name ) for Panama where our real disappointment came .more later .The ship has many good facilities eg fitness gym,glass house and atrium area .The food was generally pretty good without being Michelin standard .Islands the casual buffet area could get very full at times .The shack which served snacks as well great fish bites and smoked salmon in salad tub .Waiter service dining in 47 was reasonable because we found a great funny waiter and other excellent guests. The menu was at times repeated ,there must be no Angus beef left in world .We tried upstairs in the pizza area and throughly enjoyed the different fare.There were plenty of activities and it was good to see the captain get involved in the cycling competition .Entertainment was the same structure as most of TU I cruises .The main shows had in our opinion one of the best team of dancers,singers that we have seen in our 14 cruises. The new team who were taking over were sub standard even allowing for it being their first show .That leaves our massive negative .Destination services ,Beware of the super slick presentations either in showcase or over the screens .As most know this is a big profit area for them .Our experiences have been very mixed a couple excellent and a few poor and generally poor value . Without boring you of all details ,we didn't do an excursion as the transport was old,no air con,no seat belts ,overcrowded. Not as described in literature however after 4 e mail dialogues once back home and an uninterested manager on board no refund of monies has been received .The moral is that they hide behind a couple of regs They say that as they are just an agent you must complain to the supplier of trip if a problem .Not easy at the end or when you are back on ship and the local agent is long gone . They also say any discretion on refunds is back in UK whereas when back they say it could have been sorted on board .Think twice as there are mostly good independent tours available from ports with a little research before trip using local tourist boards .Many complaints re Colon . However next day Cartagena in Colombia turned out despite prior beliefs to have a lovely old walled town which we explored with another couple getting a taxi as TUI said it was not safe .More inaccurate info from destination services .We had a day at sea before docking in Montego BAy Jamaica then a flight back from the airport which has not grown with the increased number of planes and passengers and we were an hour late leaving but there are many more longer delays ,it needs to resolve this although they had a very good PA system .Overall a very good cruise only tainted late on
