Having booked on the portugese islands 3 night cruise from durban we were looking forward to a relaxing cruise to celebrate an important birthday.
our first queue was at the port of durban where after dropping our cases at just before 10:00 we had to wait 2.5 hours before embarking in what was little more than a warehouse with 3 toilets for 300+ people.
Once on board we found the food very poor with service in the main restaurants from waiters who could not speak English and invariably got the orders wrong or if you wish to use the buffet facilities then the queues were normally 20+ people with the food being of a quality I have rarely experienced in even the lowest of staff canteens.
the balcony suites are well set out with good cupboard space and bathroom settings, the rooms are clean and have plenty of space and i would recommend these cabins to anyone
