Review: A nice and relaxing holiday.
I expected a big retro sailing boat, much like my last experience on a river cruise, however I was really surprised and happy to find a beautiful modern reception and lounge! Overall, I think the whole ship was great, but I especially loved the cabins, ‘kids room’ and dining room. I loved the cabin because the bed and bathroom was cool and the TV had a really good movie selection. The kids’ room was actually the ‘captains lounge’ reconfigured so that kids could play on a play station, as well as sit on small tables to play board games. This was a great place where all the kids met to play FIFA. I also really liked the dining room because it was really fancy, and the buffet selection as well as the menu was stockpiled with great food.
For activities, I liked watching movies in my room or playing FIFA with the other kids. In port, I liked where we could get off and just bike, and we didn’t have to go on a long boring guided tour or bus ride. I liked how you got to know everyone really well. Things were also incredibly efficient and easy, compared to big ships where you have to wait for ages to get on and off at ports and other things like that. Though it was disappointing at first, we got used to not havingWiFi on the river cruise.
