As our first cruise we found it well organised and good value for money. There was two OAPs and two in 20s. It catered for us all. The 24 hour food was brilliant, entertainment most nights was good. Choose the off sight tours carefully as some were value for money whereas others were not. The first day was crowded as at sea but after that it was a case of pick your chair and follow the sun. You could dress up or go casual which suited us all. The most memorable moments was the towel animals that were brilliant and a different one left each day. We met pleanty of new people, it was a friendly atmosphere. The staff was always helpful and friendly and made it a pleasnt stay. Think it was good for a starter cruise, but if you want posh posh then you'd need a different cruise. Enjoyed trips to land but mainly enjoyed just catching the bus to the closet village rather than the larger trips out. For Rome we went on bus tour which was better value for money than the full tour which had lots of queues and very hot. There was aircom in the rooms so temp was always controlled and you need some warmish clothes in case its cool at night but was never too cold or too warm. There was a shopping area, the pool was not worth taking a bathing suit for, bars were ok. Don't miss the captain and crew entertainment night which was excellent. Certainly worth its money, if your interested in cinemas etc then this is not the ship but I'd certainly use again, and definatly use this cruise line if not the exact ship again.
