We chose this cruise because of the destination/ ports of call.
Starting in Southampton, embarkation was very quick and smooth, staff were friendly and helpful.
Staff on board the ship were friendly, helpful and never had any problems apart from when going into the next cruise area to enquire about something and I think it was because it was not about booking a cruise onboard that the gentleman concerned was very rude, apart from that no problems. Our Cabin Steward Stanley was very good without being intrusive. The Dining room staff - Resteraunt Manager, Head Chef and table staff were all very good and tried to solve a problem that we had.
Cabin was unexpectedly large, bathroom shower had sliding doors rather than the nasty shower curtains that you sometimes get and there was plenty room. My only gripe was the balcony, the flooring had 2 rips which did not look good and the balcony door seal had gone so there was quite a noise sometimes if it was windy outside, We did report this so I think this will be looked at but when.... We liked the cabin because of the size, it was in good order and very clean.
