Firstly I would like to commend the crew, every single one, aboard this ship for their professionalism in working in what is clearly very adverse conditions! They still managed to remain pleasant, helpful and loyal to their ship despite all the complaints and problems which were very obvious on board.

The smell of sewage from the moment we stepped aboard was enough to make you gag. As first time cruisers we thought perhaps it was a smell from the port, unfortunately not, it was right outside our cabin door throughout most of the trip. Sometimes apparent in the cabin, but it hit you the moment you opened the door.

We were going to complain, however, it was clear that many others had already beat us to it and that the crew and engineers were doing absolutely everything possible to resolve the issues and they were working round the clock. We decided not to allow it to destroy our holiday, which other than leave the ship, was all we could do.

Cabin Review

Was pleased with the size of the cabin and the storage. Found it very comfortable. If it wasn't for the smell I would have rated it much higher.
