Being picked up from home is such a joy. Taken to Portsmouth, checked in and shown to the Grill for our lunch whilst the luggage was being taken to our room.
We had been on the sister ship last time so thought we would try this one plus a bit of warmer weather would be good in winter. The staff were excellent as usual, food selection was vast and very tasty.
Entertaining was good, could do with a bit more variety. Towards the end of the trip, a magician came on board call Phil Hitchcock, he was amazing and so funny, should be there all the time but obviously impossible.
Standard cabin but next time would go for a deluxe or suite as it was a little bit cosy for us. The bed was so comfy, plenty of hangers etc but not a lot of space to move around in. You have the balcony which is a bonus.
