Good Points

Price £750 for 7 night/cruise+ 6 nights Hotel full board.
Islands visited - Zanzibar, Madagascar and Comores.
Fair prices for water and drinks on-board.


Bad Points

50% of the passengers were sea sick.
Ship old.
Poor entertainment, and cruise director.
Hotel food was disgusting (cold and bland). And for German or French palets only at Paradice and Shanzu.
The charge for sun beds and entertainment.


General Comments

Luckily, the ship was only 50% full, otherwise there would have been a lack of sun beds. There was virtually nothing to do during sea days if the weather had been poor, and there was a lack of sufficient public area seating. Food was adequate on-board.

The management at the hotels were only interested in their Continental guests. Not even toast, cold meat or cheese was available for breakfast. Complaints were met with a "go somewhere else" attitude. Luckily good food was available in the nearby village.
