We have got the cruise bug after one so much so we have booked up for next year after being home only 3 days. Everything went smooth from start to finish from the moment we checked the luggage in at Birmingham airport when this very nice lady put a yellow tag on it and told us we wouldn't see it again until it was placed outside our cabin just a couple of hours after we booked in. Then was the drinks package excellent value my partner and myself are not excessive drinkers but for £109 each we could drink all week from 10am till 2am if we wanted to wonderful. We were afraid that it might be fussy or stuck up but we were proved wrong again I am pleased to say as we met some of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. Then the crew, where do I start from the cabin crew to the waiters to the entertainers and the captain everyone was so pleased to be there to make all your expectations and more come true. But the nicest thing was they were so pleased to do it and you could tell it was genuine and not put on. I was quite surprised at the room in the cabins I was expecting small but not so I have stayed in smaller hotel rooms. What it lacked in space it was made up by the friendly cabin crew who looked after your every need from cleaning laundry and even turning your bed down for the night. I could sing this cruises praises for hours but would just bore you as wee have our friends since we got back. All I can say to anyone thinking about it just do it but beware its very romantic on that deck at night under the stars I proposed to my partner when we were passing stromboli volcano at sunset so be warned
