We travelled on the 18 August 2012 sailing and in summary the cruise met all our expectations with a couple of covenants we'll detail later.Given some of the negativity that has been expressed about this ship on Cruise Critic, we were greatly impressed with the standard and quality of all but one of the food offerings, with the overall presentation of the ship, the friendly and efficient service of the staff and the high quality of the stage shows.
Would we go again - sure would!
One disappointment was the "Little Italy" restaurant (on which there is a surcharge). Regretablly it was nowhere the standard of food or service that we had in other restaurants. It really did let the side down.
Cabin a little smaller than on other ships on which we've travelled, but we were aware of that before we started, and for a 7 night cruise was perfectly adequate.
