Having read bad reviews about the food on the internet after I had already booked up, I was not surprised that they were absolutely true. The food was bland and cold. And if you liked salad and fresh fruit you were fine. The cake was sometimes nice but often too sweet. If you were lucky and caught the chips when they were first put out they were nice but otherwise cold.
However, on the gala nights I recall the food was very good. For instance I liked smoked salmon starter, gorgonsola appetiser, salmon in mash, baked alaska and the lemon sorbet was nice. Also I loved the morning blackcurrants, red currants, blackberries on top of waffles and cream. Another favourite of mine was taking a little of the italian dishes. Still a bit bland but not quite as much as others.
The worst thing was the blue plastic children's cups we had to drink tea from or coffee out of instead of proper cups which you could only get by buying them.
I liked the cabin particularly because it was opposite the lift. It was quiet. I had a great view of the whole cruise. It was quiet in the cabin and I could not hear any noise at all from other people.
