Creator's Key Takeaways

We were lucky enough to spend a wonderful two weeks on board for a Christmas and New Year cruise 2024 into 2025.

We ate here most nights and we had some great waiting staff and we enjoyed some very nice meals.

We really enjoy the food here and it always seems busy.

We really enjoyed the thermal suite, which cost £25 per couple for exclusive use for an hour.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book specialty dining before sailing for a lower price.
✓Use the complimentary room service for an early start.
✓Consider a deluxe interior cabin on a lower deck for stability in rough seas.
