We chose this ship due to its size, having never cruised before we did not want to be on a ship with thousands of people. Apart from the fact that the boat is now very old and it did show in places, it was immaculately clean and the facilities were very good. The pools are showing their age and did not look too appealing although if the weather had been better we probably would have had a different outlook. We did try the jacuzzis which were good. The marquee deck had new very comfortable tables and chairs etc which were very nice and were not very crowded on our trip, probably again due to the climate.

Our balcony room was very nice and again immaculately clean, towels refreshed twice a day and the fresh fruit and canapés each day were very nice.

The food was very good, the staff in the restaurants were exceptional and the evening entertainment was also first class.

Balcony Cabin

Lovely room with good facilities, Very comfy double bed and sofa and chairs very nice. Bathroom was good and the shower very powerful.

Balcony was on the Promenade Deck so people were walking by but the windows were tinted and could not see in.

Port Reviews

Olden

Took a trip here to the Glazier which was spectacular. Not much to do at the port, a few souvenir shops but very expensive.

Lerwick (Shetland Islands)

Was great to get to see this island enjoyed walking around the town, plenty of little shops and cafes so we felt a tour was not needed. Others went to the other side of the island on a coach which we would probably try if we went again but sitting on a coach did not appeal at the time. There was a shuttle bus from the port if people were unable to walk the 10 mins into the town
