From the moment we saw the Ship as we approached Southampton (not easy for my Portsmouth mad football son) we were in awe. IOS is a fantastic ship, clean and spacious. Our cabin attendant Randall was so helpful and chatty. Our balcony room was perfect. Big shout out to Josh the cruise director who a certain mum in law fancied and he was so funny. Food was great. We ate in romeo and juliette for breakfast and dinner, though did try the a la carte breakfast a couple of times. Dinner was spent with a great family....hi Adele, Alan and family!!! We got on so well and were usually the last to leave the restaurant. We saw a few shows and 2 ice shows. My son went on the Rock and Flo Rider and both the children went ice skating. We tried the casino, used the pool, although kept to the Adult one. Used the amazing gym a couple of times. We did the premier drinks package and could have any drink under 11 dollars. Boy did we use it and hopefully it was worth it. Oliver and Twist our fav bar with great views. Ports of call were great in particular Alicante .....really surprised great beach and Vigo...great for handbags. Can't maon about anything. People seemed to dislike the winjammer but we loved the food. It was packed sometimes but they put us in the restauant off to side a couple of times where it was really plush. Wanted to try Johnny rockets but the food was so good in the normal restauants that we didn't bother. Loved this cruise, thank you so much to all the staff.

Cabin Review

Lovely cabin, room 6536. Randall couldn't do enough for us. Great shower. Enough space.
