Day 1

This was a lazy day. It was pouring down with rain outside. I made a call to mum in England. In Palma you are connected using Movistar Telecom system.

We had a buffet lunch in Sirens. A nice venue. The food was nice. It was also the first time to use our All Inclusive cards and get a glass of red wine. It's nice to sign off a receipt with nothing to pay.

Cabin Review

Cabin OU

Cabin 5204

We prepaid for a specific cabin. We arranged to have a cabin next door to my sister. We prepaid for our room so we were next to my sister.. My sister was due to have the cabin next door 5208 but has been put into 5212. As a result she has had her room fee repaid via on board credit.

The Cabin itself is at the back of the ship on the outside with a window. The room is a fair size. Only problem we have is our luggage will not fit under the bed. There is plenty of storage for our clothes. A safe is provided. The shower is a fair size. Soap and shower gel are provided. A couple of niggles. There is no bath mat provided. The towels are a bit grey from regular use. Some new ones would be nice. One problem in the bathroom was that the sink plug was broken. You have to lift the lever to raise the plug, however, this had been disconnected. Within an hour of reporting the problem it was fixed.

The bed is very comfortable. I had some very good night sleeps.

Each night a chocolate is left on the pillow. A nice touch seen as this is now a cut back on some cruise ships.

There are two big draw backs to this cabin. It is right above the crews lounge. So every night until 2am you can here them partying with disco's and karaoke taking part. It is very loud. It was reported to Customer Services but nothing was done. My sister is in Cabin 5012 and the noise is even louder there. Also we are next to the area where the ropes are for tying up the ship. So it gets a bit noisy when arriving in Port.
