Beautiful ship, amazing staff. The shows were good but not fantastic! We like the BB Kings club vibe and band were so good first week but 2nd week the music somehow wasn’t so good to dance to. Rock and roll bank were okay. Classical trio were excellent. Cabin spacious and kept spotlessly clean. We paid extra for unlimited laundry which was the best thing ever!

The ship is lovely. The crew are superb. The Destinations varied, all interesting and excellent choice. The daytime entertainment is all centred around the Bars - there were no lectures or talks about cultural or historic places on the Itinerary. The food in dining rooms and buffet was varied but we have had better on P&O and Cunard. No tea or coffee facility in staterooms and minibar very expensive and not included in drinks package. It was several days before we realised that it was essential to use the Navigation APP to find out where to meet for shore excursions, etc. Overall, it was a pleasant cruise, but it could have been so much better with a Guest Historian speaker. The Theatre is a superb venue for illustrated lectures, but we had none!
