Cabin: Spacious Ocean View Balcony

Covered some ports of call not previously visited. Marseille a bit of a disappointment.

Food was more than adequate but trying to get a sharing table when on My Time Dining, proved very difficult. This is probably due to the extra 103 cabins included in the recent refit. This also showed in no sun beds available and every bar being crowded.

We have been in this ship before but will not be doing so again. We enjoy the formal nights but so few people bother now it’s very uncomfortable for those that do try. Itinerary mentioned 3 formal nights and 3 smart casual with the remainder being casual. There were no smart casual so shorts could be seen in main dining rooms nightly; even on formal nights. Made friends with a couple where the wife was in a wheelchair. At times she was forced to be almost in the serving area to gain room for her chair.

All fine in the cabin and we had a very good steward for whom nothing was too much trouble
