CONS

On first sight - what a monster. First time we'd cruised on a 3,000 passenger ship, and by day 14 we were still getting lost!

On arrival NO champagne reception, which we'd been used to with other cruise lines, NO-ONE to show us to our cabin, heaven help anyone who's never cruised before.

Cabin Review

Outside Twin with Balcony and Shower

Cabin JA

R714 located on deck 14 which is as high as you can go for cabins. We were on the Port side. We had a balcony which was small, the beds were comfortable but the pillows had rocks and pebbles in them! I have never come across pillows like them.

There were three canvas prints on the wall which I would describe as NAIVE ARTWORK, the large centre one has so may colours in it it made you feel a little ill (we covered it up for the 2 weeks we were there).

The bathroom was very small, the shower unit was triangular and when you came to bend over to do you legs you had to stick you head out of the curtain, not good!

Some very strange engine noises heard at night together with various vibrations. We think due to the size and shape of the ship you experience more rocking when at sea and at night in bed the rocking motion can get quite severe.
