We had a fabulous trip..we were well served on board by very endearing boys who looked after our needs faultlessly. We enjoyed the shows..lovely theatre, let ourselves go in the Nightclub...fantastic, enjoyed the piano music etc etc. The food was of course, varied and of high standard.. We always found something different to enjoy. My husband particularly enjoyed the beers and the highlight for him was the beer festival on board!! Thank you to everyone..was a perfect holiday and a perfect way to celebrate my husband's retirement.
