Sail Date: Jul 2010

First of all I will tell you a little about myself and my husband. I am 29 and he is 31, we have been married for 4 years and normally try to get away once or twice a year. The normal sort of break we do are city breaks, normally the cheaper the better but we don't mind splashing out for something we think is worth it. We chose this particular cruise based on the itinery, it had ports of call that we desperately wanted to see so seemed like the perfect holiday for us. Before we travelled I was a little sceptical about the cruise itself as it seemed too good to be true, all those cities for the price we were paying. I was also concered about our ages and the fact that cruises in general tend to attract slightly older travellers (especially cruises such as this that are child free). At times we did get slightly irritated by fellow passengers general rudeness towards us (especially the ones that assumed we were staff because we were younger) but all in all we didn't let it affect our overall experience.

In fact we had an absolutely amazing time! The ship itself is gorgeous and very well maintained. The staff clearly take pride in their work, they were friendly and paid great attention to detail. Our room was cleaned twice a day and our room steward was always on hand and very very friendly. The waiting and bar staff all spoke brilliant English and went out of their way to ensure that we were well looked after. The entertainment, admin and all other members of staff seemed very professional and approachable also. Our toilet broke about halfway through but it was fixed quickly and efficiently and caused us no inconvenience at all. Neither of us have a bad word to say about any of the staff at all.

The ship itself is fairly small but in a friendly way. Theres certainly enough to do to keep you entertained and a nice selection of places to sit and relax with a drink or to read a book etc. However at times it was quite hard to find a spare seat as people tended to spread their belongings out over chairs/sunloungers even when they werent actually using them.
