Sail Date: Dec 2018

We chose this ship as we sailed in her 18 months previously and apart from very average food in the Waterfront Restaurant we had a good time.

We were in need of some serious R&R after a very difficult year and the children were happy to go elsewhere. We therefore booked the courier service through SAGA to take us to Tilbury & back.

The day before we left the embarkation was changed to Dover where extra repairs had to be made apparently although why was never mentioned by the captain or the crew.

Cabin Review

Cabin Superior outside

Cabin was smaller than expected but functional. Basin cracked and needed renewing. Clothes storage space good. Should be room for a small sofa to sit on but only one chair offered. Lighting by the bed was almost non-existent although they did try to improve this but it was not a lot better. Stewardess was excellent.
