Sail Date: May 2023

We chose this cruise for the destination and value. The travel agent tries to upsell of course so choose the cabin you like for yourself from the ships plan. I did speak to someone on board who had to pay the premium for a balcony cabin yet part of the ships structure came across the patio door, so she could not see anything. Really not sure where it was so check that out before buying a balcony cabin. Our travel agent try to tell us that nothing was included. Complimentary tea and coffee and water. Also you may take as many spirits and drinks with you if you want Overall we had a fabulous time. However the activities in the evening do tend to overlap and for the popular things you should maybe book before you sail as a couple of the entertainment venues were booked out all week. Also po insist you use their my cruise app to book things, and it is not That great I was worked until we went ashore and then we could not connect again so you just turn up that works but they insist on making an easy job hard tutting you should have used the app and trying to say the restaurant is full when you can see thousands of empty tables he he Probably our fault. The trips are excellent destinations, fabulous crew, hard-working everything was lovely clean and tidy. No real issues. However if you are in a hurry use the stairs the lifts are very slow and if you can get into one it will stop at every floor that said if you can manage it they do offer to carry your own bags off which will speed up the departure at the end of the cruise recommended because of the lifts if you can

Cabin Review

The cabin is reminiscent of a touring caravan. Well laid out with storage, nice TV and very comfy bed. It’s not huge but what do you want for the money ?cleaning staff excellent. It does have its creeks when at sea which is a bit of a design fault 9 out of 10.

Haugesund

Value for money and itinerary. However do some independent research as up selling is the name of the game with the travel agent and some pre-booking before boarding is required if you want to see some of the entertainment
