Decided to try a cruise from southampton. Embarkation very good disembarkation exceptionally good. This ship does not have any wow factor and appeared to be a little bit on the dull side with decor and is quite bland. The cabins are functional but the bathroom area is the smallest we have ever used on any ship as when you step out of the shower to dry yourself it is a tight space and on this particular cruise there were a vast number of disabled and elderly people who would have found this space very tight and I cannot believe there were sufficient disabled cabins on the ship to cater for them. There were an abundance of very large people also on the cruise and they could not fit in the bathroom space and went to the Spa to have a shower. The food in the Horizon Buffet was exceptionally good with a vast choice, there were also 4 speciality dining options on board with a cover charge of £25 per person this was also the charge for the Limelight Club which is a type of supper club where special guests performed. The entertainment in the theatre was very good but always full resulting in standing at the back, this spoiled any show as there were alot of people who had no idea what the show was but were there as it was a free show and promptly fell asleep and remained asleep even through the amazing voice of Sam Bailey. Apart from Bingo every lounge you visited seemed to be holding a quiz of some sort. Not an uplifting cruise by any means.
