This was my second cruise, we had previously been on one round the Caribbean. We were on the cruise for two weeks and I could not find a single thing to fault. The service was always quick and to a high standard, the staff were all very polite and attentive. We all loved the cruise director Joff he brought an uplifting feel to the cruise. There was never the chance to get bored with the amount of shows and entertainment provided. Our waiter (Olivia) and assistant waiter (Rommel) took the time to get to know us, this adding a special touch to the cruise. I really enjoyed the idea of waking up in different places. Our cleaner also took time to get to know us always wishing us a good morning, the cleanliness of our room was always to a high standard with towel animals which was a special touch. We really liked having the cruise compass in our room each morning with all the details of the day and what was being offered. It was also an easy way to access opening times for all the facilities.

We really enjoyed the formal nights and the opportunity to get dressed up if you wanted to, it was a good excuse to get out our ball gown and suit. However, it’s great that there is an option not to get dressed up if you choose not to.

On the last day we had a problem getting of the boat as the bank had blocked my bank card, I was getting very frustrated and impatient and the staff were extremely patient and helpful at this time while also getting a lot of hassle from other customers.

Port Reviews

Marseille

Was a lovely place to see we went up to the chapel. Some good views, we went round to the other side of the harbour where you can get a train up and back down for just 4 euros.

Cannes

We got the train to niece and did some shopping a really lovely place. We then went to montecarlo on the train which was definitely worth doing. A lot of people did this however it would have been benifical to have a bit longer as we were pushed for time.

Barcelona

Barcelona was really good but there was so much to do we didn’t have time. We got the open tour bus so we could see as much as possible in the time we had. Would definitely go back.

Palma de Mallorca (Majorca)

We have been to palma a lot before so we just went and did some jet skis and mini golf. We really enjoyed this and it was only a £20 taxi ride from the boat.

Vigo

We got a tour bus around Vigo, we went to the botanic gardens, a castle and the beach. Was very good. The botanic gardens and so beautiful and a must see.
