Staff – some good some bad, certainly not at the level across the board of the more expensive cruise lines but a lot of the staff where great.

Drinks – the drinks package includes so little variety I ended up always paying the top up to have different drinks however it wasn’t very pricey to top up to nicer drinks.

Swimming pools and recreation activities - They have very little and much of what they have is catered to their older clients. Knowing in advance this was a smaller ship with older patrons we took a PS3 with us, on day one the reception staff refused to set the TV up for us so we could plug it in (it needed a different controller to the one supplied as they have their own system that doesn’t allow other HDMI channels) however we asked different staff on day two and they sorted it for us.

Cabin Review

Outside

Cabin was twin beds as apparently they dont really have doubles, decor was ok and room was good size.
