Wow what a lovely ship, yes it's big and a lot of people on there, but never felt really crowded. We didn't go to the buffet so can't comment how busy that was. Ariva still felt a new ship and the decor was easy on the eye,
The crew where fabulous from the cabin crew to the waiters. Nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel special everywhere we went. Our cabin was a good size, bathroom was small but very serviceable. The balcony was huge, lots of space. John, our steward was super. The Limelight and Chesney Hawkes was a brilliant evening.
Food was plentiful and lots of choice

Great entertainment in the Limelight Club, the house band was exceptional, they were the jewel in the crown, especially Georgia , the lead singer.
Chesney Hawkes was amazing and the service and food in the Limelight Club was the best on the ship.
Unfortunately, there was no sequence dancing which we were looking forward to.
The Take That Greatest Days show was cancelled, which apparently happens often!
For such a new ship we were surprised to see dirty carpets and the decor was a bit bland.
The shuttle buses were charged £5 each way for a 5 minute ride did seem a lot. On previous cruise they were free.
The stop at Toulon was changed and then you were charged to go back to Toulon on a small boat, seemed a bit unfair.
Overall it was a great Cruise, just a few differences to Britannia which we did not expect and thought it would be better.
