Initially my husband and I were very impressed with the interior of this modern ship.

Cabins are a good size with fruit, carton of milk, water etc in cabin. Room service excellent. Service round the ship also excellent. Dining was somewhat chaotic at times. We were given wrong meals on more than one occasion, two soups one night. Long queues at times for the buffet at breakfast and lunch. Pre-ordering veggie meal confusing and inconsistent. Food was the best I have had at sea. Buffet food was hot. Book speciality restaurants ASAP because they get booked up quickly.

Chairs/settees in public areas are badly designed and uncomfortable - little or no back support . Lift buttons are also badly designed - they re very dark and difficult to read. Library is confusing - badly set out - like a maize. Labels indicating book categories are in very small print and difficult to read. No librarian in residence. Good coffee machine in library + tea etc. Unfortunately library is adjacent to open plan craft area and can get very noisy. Craft area is used as a cut through for people wishing to gain access to their cabins.

Cabin Review

Good size standard cabin with lots of extras in cabin i.e plenty of toiletries, also robes, umbrella. Lots of coat hangers, basket of fruit on arrival, Carton of milk in fridge.

Shower door could be dangerous if you accidentally lean against it as it swings in and out.

Fluffy towels, shower cap etc.
