We chose this cruise because we liked the itinerary and we enjoyed all the places we visited. The boat itself is very nice, cabins a bit snug but bed very comfortable. Food and wine all good but restaurant lacked a bit in terms of ambiance though staff all helpful and friendly. Main issue was the unseemly scramble if you wanted a table for two. Also at lunchtime it would be helpful if a copy of the menu was posted outside the restaurant because there is a light lunch alternative in the lounge bar so it would be good to know what is on offer in both locations before entering. All that said we really enjoyed the cruise and the tour guides at each location were all excellent. Our big disappointment was being informed 36 hours prior to end of cruise that our transfer to airport would be at 7.30am for a 1.10pm flight. The journey time was just over an hour as expected so we arrived at airport 2.5 hours before we could even check in and drop bags. The paperwork we received in advance of our cruise indicated that our transfer would be at 9.10. Despite raising an objection at the time of being notified of the change we were firmly informed that nothing could be done. There were a number of other people similarly inconvenienced. This definitely took the gloss off the experience.

Cabin Review

Cabin on the small side but well appointed and the Juliet style balcony is a really good idea. Bed very comfortable and plenty of storage including under bed for one week cruise.
