Sail Date: Oct 2018

I was looking forward to this cruise with my friend as I had sailed on Ocean Village about 4 times many years ago and wanted to compare.

Embarkation from Tilbury was brilliant. We were called by the colour on our luggage label and walked on board without much queuing. The waiting area had plenty of seating, a small coffee bar and was nice and warm.

Our cabin was a nice size (I already knew this from OV) but the wooden furniture was the original and so was the bathroom. This was OK though and the shower is really large. The air con worked well and the bed was comfortable.

Cabin Review

Cabin 6 window

The cabin was a good sized twin but its position, being low down and at the front made it sway a lot during rough weather. Worth bearing in mind if you get seasick.

Port Reviews

Antwerp

The ship docked right in the town so no need to book a trip if you just want to wander around the town.

We went on little tourist train which was fun.
