After all the frightful reviews previously posted, my missus and I set forth on our voyage of discovery with a little trepidation. Beware! No one suitcase can weigh more than 23kg. We failed to spot this because we had purchased an extra 5kg weight allowance each and thought all would be alright. We had then to frantically re-distribute the weight into a third bag for the 'plane's hold luggage which then had an impact on us later as we had nothing to change into for the early evening on board ship.

Embarking in Barbados we had to wait for over four hours for our luggage to arrive at our cabin but had been warned about this in advance as the Barbadians like to double check everything, apparently. I have since noted from other reviews that at nearly all embarkation ports there seems to be a long delay in receiving luggage, so wonder about this reason given.

We still had a fabulous time! Almost everything thereafter was superb - a couple of lifts did not work for our duration and the retractable roof had retracted but would not close again as we found out in Roatan, Honduras, when it persisted it down - great dining, great service and fantastic entertainment from the on-board troupe of singers and dancers. Well done again to one and all! Read more
