Our only quibble is with the dining times in the evening. We were 7.30 pm, which is too late for us. It could have been worse at 9.30 pm! Otherwise, the staff were so polite and welcoming, and the range of food awesome. The shows were brilliant - and cleverly timed at not too long. Getting on and off the ship was slick! We loved it and will be back.

All the staff were absolutely incredible. So polite, so helpful, so kind. Just brilliant. The food selection and quality in the buffet was outstanding. My only issue is with the dining timings. We had 7.30 pm, which is very late for us. Thank goodness we didn't get 9.30 pm! The shows were brilliant, including both "paid" shows. The arrival and departure procedures were SLICK - no hanging about - superb! Thank you. We'll be back - probably with the entire family, as it looked like there was something for everyone on the cruise.
