Lovely relaxing time.

Lucky we were on this ship, the weather wasn’t brilliant on this cruise to the Canaries but we were well looked after, food good (especially Colours & Tastes Asian Fusion), good shows. Fireworks in Lisbon worked better than the previous year on a different ship.

A tired old ship

As with all cruise lines the staff were mainly very friendly. Food ok though often lukewarm. All inclusive drinks very limited although that will have changed with FO's new policy. Cabin was frankly shabby but functional. Be prepared for a very senior demographic.

Considerably better than expected

A lovely ship with a lot of character and very well maintained. Some unique and somewhat quirky decoration and a range of public areas and restaurants. Clean throughout. Attentive staff. Room was comfortable with all the amenities you could expect. Did not feel over-crowded and the ratio of passengers/crew for the size of the ship was near perfect. Food in dining areas was very good.
