Sail Date: Apr 2019

We chose this cruise to make sure we took our last chance to dance with Amy and Roland, the amazing professional dance couple, before the show team's contracts expired at the end of the season... we also really wanted to see Petra and sail through the Suez Canal. We have taken four cruises on Discovery in the last 11 months and have loved each and every one. I'm sure we will be back aboard Discovery soon.

Our flight from Manchester was a little delayed (45 minutes or so) but the flight was good and we arrived in Muscat where we had a very speedy transit to the boat and check-in. We were in our cabin with our bags unpacked within an hour of setting foot on board. The embarkation crew were so friendly and helpful. It was lovely to be greeted by young people who remembered us, by name, from our previous cruises! Flying back from Corfu was less good... the airport is in a state of flux... it will be better soon.

Discovery is a bright and airy ship with full length windows in the main dining rooms and a beautiful Atrium space. We stayed on deck 6 this time and the cabin was almost identical to the ones we had on decks 2 and 3 previously: plenty of hangers and hanging space; a lovely big bed and a powerful shower. Splendid! There are a variety of bars and restaurants in which the service is, in our experience, excellent. Sun-bathing is not our thing but the sunbeds were in great demand throughout the cruise. I found the open deck spaces crowded but I suppose that just shows they are popular.
