Sail Date: Jul 2018
Cabin: Outside Stateroom with Bath/Shower

Had been on the ship previously about 8 years ago - it had been updated since then but still looking sad and tired in some of the outside areas. On a positive note, the food has to be some of the best I have ever had on a cruise. The Horizon restaurant deserves special mention - the choice and quality was incredible, and the staff some of the most helpful I have ever experienced. Medina Restaurant staff not so friendly, no eye contact, no conversation other than matters relating to the menu; on occasion service very slow, one night over two hours for dinner.....

Entertainment: Headliners superb shows, have some very talented staff; however some of the other shows/entertainment very poor during the evening. Daytime - When I go on holiday to the sun, I do not want to go inside for the entertainment during the day - okay some people might like the respite from the sun, but hardly anything outside during the day around the pool, might get the odd 30mins of music, but other than that, zilch !!!

Outside cabin and steward ok - but very small - if it had to house 4 people you wouldn't be able to move!!!

La Coruna

Pleasant to wander about on your own

Lisbon

Got a tut tut, as the tram's were out of service (broken?). Very knowledgeable Trip Advisor registered driver (Romeu), took us up to the castle, other view points and then a short walking tour around the old Jewish quarter - great couple of hours, worth every penny !!
