Easy way to travel - lots of entertainment, excellent food, great spa & gym! Travelled from Durban to Mauritius & Réunion. Sea was calm, had a wonderful Balcony cabin. Preferred later dining slot & managed to request a table just for 2 which made experience more suitable. Entertainment shows were good - enjoyed the comedian from Durban & the last night's show was excellent. Excursions in Mauritius were over priced and not worthwhile.

The Excursion desk staff on board, did not really take our complaint of being overcharged & for marketing the Ille Aux Cerfs incorrectly as a private island (it was open to the public and not the nicest beach in Mauritius - very expensive for what one received).

Embarkation & Disembarkation at Durban Port terrible. Many hours in extreme heat & chaotic. Unfortunately first and last impressions of what would have been a very relaxing Holiday! Would have preferred it if there were more Italian staff on board the ship to give it a truly European feel. Overall, it was a relaxing way to start a new year.
