Excellent cruise. Cannot fault. Only one thing that you should take note. My brother died at home whilst we were on board ship. Got phone call in cabin via Guest Relations to say they were going to put through an emergency call from United Kingdom. Unfortunately the call never connected after failing twice. Basically GR knew our news before we did but It would have been nice just to have received a condolence card or to ask if there was anything they could do, It must happen all the time and I think it’s something that would mean such a lot to those who are ever in the situation as I was. Lessons to be learnt.

Very enjoyable cruise. Excellent service. Fabulous food. Very comfortable stateroom. Made full use of our balcony. Azamazing evening in Barcelona was first rate. Brilliant entertainment and well organised. White night too was very enjoyable evening.
Only downside was the timing of the evening entertainment and the lack of it between 6pm and 8pm most nights. Excursions were very expensive in our opinion.
