Sail Date: Jun 2018

Chose this cruise as it coincided with a special anniversary. It also visited ports that we were interested in. Plenty of restaurants and activities day and night if you chose to do that. We were only at sea for one day so every other day was taken up with shore excursions. Although TUI reps were very informative on these excursions we found that they were very over priced. Friends went off on their own and paid a fraction of the price we did by using taxi or bus.

We also found the speciality restaurants quite expensive considering we were only paying a supplement of an all inclusive cruise. However the dining club experience was to die for. One of the best meal experiences we have ever had. About six small courses with wine to compliment each course. Finishing with a brandy and port costing over £90.00. Surf and Turf restaurant was excellent too with a charge of £47.00 including a glass of wine each.

Cabin Review

Cabin junior suite

Cabin was spacious with huge balcony and furnishings , sun loungers table and chairs and also a hammock. Kept immaculately clean by room service.

Port Reviews

Palermo (Sicily)

Found Sicily to be a very dirty place. We walked around for about 2 hours and were not impressed.
