New Year cruise to Canaries and Madeira. We joined Explorer 2 in Tenerife. Ship clean and presentable in most areas. All staff very sociable, smiley and hard working. The captain was very visible and extremely sociable. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone. Special shout out for our cabin stewards Edmar, Cyrell and Mar. These stewards went above and beyond to ensure all our cabin needs were met. Well done. A thoroughly enjoyable cruise.

The cruise itself was an excellent experience over all,. Leaving port on both Xmas Eve & New Year Eve was a disappointment as we were given to understand that we would be able to observe fireworks around the ports on both occasions. Staff, entertainment were both excellent. However, the lack of TUI staff at both airports created mass confusion & late flights. In fact this has made us very wary of holidaying with TUI in future.
