The crew were absolutely brilliant. We stayed in stateroom 0001A which was very good with the exception of the shower area which was very small. Would recommend to everyone.

We had 3 main reasons for choosing this itinerary: Azores, Madeira, Casablanca. Casablanca was great, we fully understand why the captain considered the Azores too risky in the weather conditions, but we were never told why Madeira was removed early on. Nevertheless, we did enjoy the itinerary and the ports we visited. There were many good points that we appreciated. The ship was clean and not too big. The entertainment was very good. The meals we had were good. Life on board, embarking/disembarking, and the excursions, were very well-organised. We did feel that independent travellers were not well-catered for in terms of information provided. It was difficult to plan ahead as information about ports/terminals, regarding distance and shuttle buses, etc was hard to find or only available last minute. Also we felt that $20 each for a shuttle bus where there was no practical alternative was unreasonable. We did miss not having port talks to give a heads-up on what to expect when going ashore. The App was useful, though not as versatile as some others we’ve used. The TV was quite limited, particularly as there was no means of jumping directly to find port information without watching an entire programme sequence, and there was no film/programme selection beyond what was currently broadcasting. Although the food was good we felt there was too little variety in both the buffet and main restaurant, especially with the starters and desserts. The food and service in the speciality restaurants were excellent. The general serving staff were all friendly and efficient, but we felt they seemed less relaxed than on other cruises, as though they were under pressure, perhaps from under-staffing or over-management. Not really sure why as they all seemed a nice bunch of people.
