Although I am new to cruising and do not have any experience on other cruise
ships, I can honestly say that my partner and I have come back from our cruise
feeling like we had the holiday of a life time.
>From arriving at the port in Southampton everything went very smoothly, hardly
no queuing and we were on the ship within about 20 -30 minutes from the time we
parked the car.
Once on the ship we were surprised at how luxurious the ship was, obviously some
places more so than others, the Centrum especially was something that I was
fascinated with.
We settled in and decided to walk around the ship to see all it had to offer, we
were very impressed. The service and reception we got from the staff was
excellent, they do a very good and professional job.
Getting on and of the ship at ports of call was very hassle free too, the only
time we had to queue was to get back on the ship but that was only if a lot of
coaches all arrived at the same time.
The food was excellent, we ate in the windjammer café most of the time, although
the dinner in the Romeo & Juliet dinning room was outstanding and the service
was the same, my partner had the lobster one evening and the waiter offered him
another one once he had finished he’s first.
The only thing I would have to complain about is the pricing of the drinks and
goods on board, they had changed the currency from dollars to pounds, which
worked out to be a lot more expensive. But I think they will have many
complaints about this and may reconsider.
So in total it was a great holiday and I would recommend it to anyone,
especially if it is going to be your first cruise.
