Additional details
We chose this cruise as there were three ports of call new to ourselves.
Lido Deck Too large a comfortable seating area earmarked for smokers, particularly when public areas (on land) are discouraging the habit.
Dining Surprisingly, choice of all three courses at dinner required when ordering. One does not always know whether one might even wish for a third course after the first and second courses but, if so required, the third course should then be allowed to be chosen accordingly.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Stateroom with Balcony and Bath/Shower
A166 is an aft cabin and is larger than the other port and starboard cabins. It has the advantage of being virtually free of the wind caused by the forward progress of the ship making for a very comfortable relaxation on the balcony.
However the deck was washed 3/4 times to remove the soot particularates from the ship's exhaust!
Though being on deck 8 aft there was no engine noise but a good deal of sun bed movement, being beneath the Lido deck. This did not concern us as it tended not to be during unsocial hours.
The cabin was as expected but a little larger and very comfortable, the bed especially, as always. Just a pity about the toe nail left all the fortnight on the skirting board from a previous occupant!
