WE CHOOSE THIS CRUISE AS THE PORTS OF CALL APPEALED TO US AND ALSO WE COULD TAKE OUR 2 GRAND CHILDREN AGED 8 AND 11 FOR FREE. AFTER BOOKING AND READING THE REVIEWS WE WERE VERY WORRIED. HOWEVER WE DECIDED TO GO WITH AN OPEN MIND . OUR CABIN WAS VERY CLEAN AND SPACIOUS . ALL THE BARS RESTAURANTS AND PUBLIC SPACES WERE VERY ELEGANT EVEN THE LADIES LOOS! WE FELT THE EVENING MENUS WERE LIMITED BUT THE PORTIONS WERE VERY BIG. THE SELF SERVICE BUFFET PIZZERIA AND BURGER BAR WERE ALL EXCELLENT AND THEY ALSO SERVED AFTERNOON TEA. THE SEVICE WAS A BIT HIT AND MISS HOWEVER THEY DONT PESTER YOU TO BUY DRINKS ALL THE TIME LIKE ON MOST SHIPS. THE EVENING SHOWS WERE GOOD CONSIDERING THE SIX DIFFERENT NATIONALITIES ON BOARD HOWEVER THE DAYTIME ENTERTAINMENT WAS VERY JUVENILE. OUR GRAND CHILLDREN ATTENDED THE KIDS CLUB HOWEVER NOWERE NEAR AS GOOD AS RCI P&O ETC. BEAR IN MIND THAT THE SUPERVISION IS NOT GOOD FOR OVER 9 YEARS HOWEVER THE UNDER 8'S ARE VERY WELL SUPERVISED WITH THEIR OWN PLAYROOM . OVERALL WE GOT GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY BUT PROBABLY WOULD NOT TRAVEL WITH THEM AGAIN. ONLY DID THE RUSSIAN EXCURSIO WHICH WAS EXCELLENT THE REST WE DID ON OUR OWN ALTHOUGH THE RECEPTION STAFF GAVE YOU VERY LITTLE INFORMATION ON THE PORTS. ONE OTHER POINT THEY WILL CHARGE YOU FOR A BOTTLE OF WATER WITH DINNER INSIST FIRMLY YOU WANT FREE ICE TAP WATER WE DID AND GOT A FREE BOTTLE OF WATER EVERY NIGHT
