We just had a fantastic 7 day cruise on this beautiful ship. We have absolutely no complaints. The ship was gorgeous and spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was great, service impeccable. We enjoyed the shows, paid as well as inclusive.

I had to write a review after reading what my fellow travellers had put.
Ship was clean and tidy and well maintained. The staff were lovely, polite and very helpful. Our cabin was clean and well presented.
The food in the buffet was plentiful and unlike most buffets , full of flavor. Can get really busy in there but we found if you sat towards the back there was plenty of room. The food in the main restaurant was good quality and again full of flavour.
The biggest problem was the other passengers (not all) , rude , arrogant and whinged about everything even thou there nothing to moan about.
Overall our experience was really good , my wife , who expects high standards everywhere we go, could not fault our cruise.
I suggest you take some ear plugs , that way you won't have to listen to the moaning gits
