This cruise is provided with a scheduled or chartered flight but do expect cramped " knees around your earlobe seats " even on the bus to get you to and from the ship! Embarkation was to be fair very smooth and stress free but that unfortunately was one of the highlights!

Our outside cabin on deck 7 was really small with little closet space and if you have a larger than average body size do not drop the soap in the shower or you are sure to get wedged, if the shower works! The next incumbents of our cabin should be forever grateful to us as we spent the first 3 days of this cruise treading a regular path to the pursers desk reporting problems!! Trickling hot water showers and basin,overflowing toilet bowls, no visional or audible television as well as missing or broken tube lighting! The passengers allotted this cabin the previous cruise surely must have been easily pleased!
