Sail Date: Dec 2018
Cabin: Suite with Balcony and Bath/Shower

Don't believe anyone who tells you that it is a big ship so it won't be affected by the weather. We set off in a force nine gale. Spent the night being sea sick in the cabin, only to be told that we couldn't berth in Zebrugge next morning due to the weather and were heading back out to sea. All day the wind howled, for 12 hours the boat rocked and rolled, went round and round in circles and we were unable to leave the cabin or the toilet due to sea sickness.

Missed out on all the meals as so unwell. There followed another awful night sailing back to Southampton in gale force winds. I have never felt so sea sick in my life. This was my first cruise which I was so looking forward to, but NEVER again !

Total waste of money and no compensation for not berthing at destination. So please think before you go.

Cabin Review

Suite with Balcony and Bath/Shower

Cabin was very comfortable, warm and clean. Balcony was unusable due to bad weather.
