1st cruise with this company - and loved it - value for money was excellent, although found trips were expensive. Staff were attentive and polite - must be hard work at times as the great British public are not always great. Loved the fact it was not too "glitzy" but comfortable with plenty of space. Food was good - evening meals excellent - but could do with a reorganize of where some of the food (Buffet) are - drinks could do with being relocated BUT all in all these are minor things. Never a big fan of shows - however those on board were excellent. Bars good and you soon find a spot that becomes a favourite. Have booked for the 6th May next year as I LOVED it.

First cruise travelled with my husband our son and his girlfriend, we loved it, from the second we arrived we were made to feel so welcome, the staff were brilliant so friendly, food was fabulous, you never went to bed hungry, we visited Iceland and we had a bit of bad weather but that was quickly overcome and we got ashore safely. I would definitely recommend this type of holiday and look forward to doing more.
