Being our first cruise we asked for a cabin with a balcony, a word of advice for anyone booking, do not have a cabin at the back of the ship, the vibration was terrible, everything was shaking, we had to open the wardrobe doors to stop them from rattling and put tissues in the curtain pelmit, when you lay down your whole body shook, we had a terrible 7 nights without much sleep.
The embarkation was very efficient, however we were given cards and told that we would not need our passports and to put them in the safe for the whole cruise, yet you do need your passports whenever you want to get back on the ship as we were rudely told on our first stop.
We had read alot of negative reviews about the food so went with an open mind, the food in the restaurant was not very nice, it was tasteless and just slapped on the plate, some of it even looked like it had been left out for ages and was very dry, the buffet was ok and you did have alot of choice but if you like your food hot you will be dissapointed, I only managed one cooked breakfast as it was all cold, my husband had a few more but said it was cold or luke warm.
Terrible, being at the back of the ship the vibrations were awful, having to put tissues under the curtain pelmit, opening the wardrobe doors to stop them rattling, your whole body shook in bed, the worst 7 nights sleep ever, my husband could hardly walk at the end of the crusie as the bed vibrated that much he felt his hip was being disjointed.
