Sail Date: Jul 2010
Cabin: Balcony Stateroom

First time we have embarked at Southampton and that went without a hitch. We were pleased with our balcony cabin and went off to get lunch with high expectations and it all went downhill from there. The lunch was nothing like the sort of lunch we had received on our previous cruises - no salmon or tasty salads - very bland uninteresting food - even corned beef! Reminded us of 'Mums' gone to Iceland'. However if you are into curries you would have been pleased.

It was troublesome to find a table which was understandable as so many people were trying to get lunch and we eventually squeezed into a gap with 2 seats, realising we had forgotten to pick up some water we were very grateful when a waiter serving drinks asked us what we would like - on asking for tap water we were told to get it ourselves at the end of the dining room and that waiters only served drinks that were paid for - very different to our previous experience when the waiters could not do enough for us.

On returning to our cabin I noticed the pillows were very full/hard. I find it difficult to sleep on hard pillows but I have never found this a problem before as you are usually given a choice of pillow but although we had 4 pillows they were all the same. I asked our Steward for a softer pillow and was told there were no other pillows available.
