Excellent cruise, ship was immaculate and staff very helpful. Let down slightly when the usually excellent Grand Dining Room had an off day, and when the Buffet was overcrowded on the last night, but otherwise no complaints.

Great service, amazing food and a beautiful ship. Ports of call to the fjords could have been better, Alesund was disappointing, the first time we have ever spotted litter blowing around a Norwegian town. Bergen, Skagen, Flam, Hellesylt, Geiranger were great. Harstad, Kristiansund and Alesund need to be exchanged to improve this itinerary.

Just returned from a cruise in the South Pacific on the Marina predominantly for the American market, as with most British ships after lunch in the Conservatory or in this case the Terrace lunch closes at 2pm when you can’t sit on the back of the ship as you can on other Lines, they have to set up for Dinner. Most of our stops we were tendered off I had a problem with some of the security staff getting back on the ship some of them were most arrogant and really rude. The entertainment was almost non existent and really not very good. Speciality Restaurants were excellent food was very rich choice of Wines were very good. There was never a problem getting a table in the Grand Dinning Room was never full the staff were very friendly and always on hand for anything.

The colosseum was opened in 80 A.D. with 100 days of exciting games. It was mostly used for gladiatorial combat and fights with animals until around the 6th century when it began to fall into disrepair.

As it stands now, however, more than two-thirds of the structure has been destroyed.

This is one of the most iconic buildings in Rome. There are myths surrounding the building of the original Pantheon, but the structure we see today was built in 120 A.D. by Emperor Hadrian.
