Sail Date: May 2010

We sailed from Palma in the evening, after a red hot day on deck. This weather lasted forthe whole cruise and for the stay on Mallorca afterwards. The ship has been upgraded in lots of places, but still needs a bit more. The cabin, on deck 4 had two portholes, single beds, en suite and loads of storage spacewith doors on. The cabin steward, and all the crew were very friendly and nice. Two places we docked at, Villefranche and Propriano, were too small to take the ship, so we had to go by tender. It's quite exciting getting back aboard from a tender! Our cruise was 'all inclusive'and included drinks as well as food. The waiters kept coming round the ship to make sure everyone was supplied with the drinks they wanted. (They made quite a joke about it "Come on, wakey, wakey, the more you drink, the longer the sun will shine!")

The food was excellent. We used both the Island Restaurant and the Beachcomber, both as good as each other, with plenty of choice. We put on a few pounds, I can tell you!

We're not people who like "Entertainment" and only went to the show on the last night, and ended up wishing we had gone to them all, as this was so good.

Cabin Review

Tiny shower cubicle with a not very nice shower curtain. Cabin average size, quite large enough for two and plenty of drawer and hanging space. The air conditioning didn't seem to be controllable,so the cabin was quite warm. Very quiet,with no engine sounds.
