![Our first ever cruise - amazing!]()
This was mine, and my wife's, first ever cruise so we really did not now what to expect. From the outset, which was being picked up from home by a chauffeur, it went like clockwork. We were delivered at the port of Dover, where our luggage was whisked away, and we were processed at the check-in, which all went extremely smoothly, and then taken to our cabin which was really very, very well laid out, clean, and well lit too. All the information that we could have wanted was to hand in the cabin and indeed accessible on the TV there too, so we felt very well supported and not all left to stumble along alone. All the staff we met were so polite and helpful, and with the signage near the lifts it was fairly easy to sort out where all the restaurants and other places of note were located. We set off exploring the ship, and were amazed by the cleanliness and sparkle of everything we came across. That evening we went for our dinner fairly early on. The food was amazing, the service equally so, and this was so throughout our cruise. During dinner, being sat on a table of four, we learnt a lot from the other couple about the ship, and about the other restaurants and bars throughout the vessel. We made great use of the promenade deck for some fast walks, and indeed the Spa area for the sauna, steam room, and the hydro-pool; each time were were surprised to find very, very few people there - on the promenade deck or indeed in the Spa - normally just another couple or two, we reasoned that perhaps the average age of the passengers was probably responsible for that. However, the bars were well frequented by everyone in the evenings, and the entertainment we found there was very enjoyable. We took four excursions while in dock in Norway, and each disembarkation and re-embarkation was handled superbly by the staff - always going so very smoothly, which was amazing given that some of the passengers were not always that quick on their feet. The trips were excellent, and the ones that we paid for in addition to the others were very good value for money. At the end of the cruise the disembarkation was so well done, with us being matched with out luggage and our chauffeur for the return home within minutes of coming down the gangway! All in all, being treated like honoured guests for a week was a fabulous experience, one which we will definitely repeat as soon as!

![Cruise to Italian ports to visit Florence, Rome and Pompeii.]()
A lovely relaxing 18 nights aboard the Spirit of Adventure as we cruised the Mediterranean visiting ports old and new and sampling great meals alongside an extremely efficient and friendly crew.
The cabin was spacious and comfortable. The ship allowed us to unwind and enjoy the amenities on board which are plenty and would suit most tastes from a gymnasium to a relaxing spa with sauna and steam room as well as a hydrotherapy pool. You can also swim in the outdoor pool, relax on the sun decks or participate in the many activities for your creative tastes.
A good theatre with some good shows .
With a choice of dining there is always a great choice of food and drinks to sample.
The great thing on a Saga cruise is that you never have to pay for anything once the ship sails.

Couldn’t be better. Well looked after in every aspect, restaurant, tours and onboard, even home taxi to Southampton out and back.

Food in the main restaurant in the evening's were not always great, also some of the entertainment felt very amateurish. Unfortunately I was not able to enjoy my last few days onboard due to having caught COVID.
Very disappointed with the transport provided to collect and return me home which was included in price. The taxi sent I would not have used on a normal trip, and it was not as advertised on TV. Driver's did not know where ship was docked.

Truly a wonderful experience.
Everything, from being picked up at our own front door, to returning after the cruise, was even better than we were expecting. It's not the "big" things that one tends to remember about a holiday, but the "small" individual touches which make all the difference. That is just what Saga did for us.
We did not feel like paying guests, but part of a family. Once we had paid for our cruise, there wasn't anyone always wanting us to keep paying out for all "those little extras" We only paid for what we actually wanted.
Being a Yorkshire man I would sum up by saying that Saga have got it "just reight!" ("just right!")
