We enjoyed the sonderful service of all thst worked onboard this ship. Mostly English travellers, so they cater mostly yo their needs….....
• Very good value for money

Remarks Cabin

• We booked an obstacle seaview, but sll I wanted was some natural light, which I got. I didn’t know it was a cabin for 4 so the closed bunk beds were of a nonsense as I’m a big lady and have terrible back. Considering we mostly never were in the Cabin so I could live with that!!
