Ship - The ship is first class, modern, clean and well run with good embarkation and dis-embarkation

Entertainment - This was excellent with some very good individual acts particularly John Taylor (illusionist), Ar gentian Dancers and Classical Graffiti. Main shows took place in a theatre which would shame a lot of onshore ones! The main band was very good but some of the other entertainment in the bars etc was average. The entertainment was biased towards English speakers and non-English speakers would have had trouble understanding the comedian for example. There were a number of events etc. to do in the day which we needed because of the weather. I did not envisage that I would end up playing Bingo!!

Food - The main restaurant was generally very good but we felt it was a little fish biased. The service was very good but sometimes a little slow. The Windjammer self-service restaurant food selection was very good BUT far too many dishes we ate were either likewarm or even cold. If I had been eating in a shore restaurant I would have "kicked back" probably 30/40% of meals rather than just go and get something else. It could also be a little manic during "sea days" due to numbers of people walking round various food counters getting their meals and tables being full.
