This was our first cruise but we wanted it to be special as we were celebrating our silver wedding anniversary.
We did plenty of research and had a few up front requirements such as the itinerary but also didn't want a ship that was too large. We also didn't want it to be too British & were looking for a mixed demographic.
Although we clearly have nothing to compare this with, we were delighted with every aspect.
Although compact it was very clean & well maintained with an excellent balcony. As we were close to the Aft of the ship and high up, it was pleasantly quiet. Bed & shower comfortable and pleasant.
As arrived in centre of Manila we were able to get hold of a cycle rickshaw driver who took us around all of the key sites at a fraction of the price of the official trips
