Good Points

Food excellent. Staff very helpful. Ship very clean. Entertainment excellent. Kids clubs good. Room larger than expected for a ship.


Bad Points

Thomson / Thomas Cook Flights very very tight. I am 6' 5" and could not physically fit into the seat. I stood all of the 4 hours to Greece. Was lucky to get emergency exit seat on way back but was hard work to organise as seats allocated before you get to airport. Would never travel with Thomson or Thomas Cook airlines. There were many smaller passengers who found the flight tight for space and were not happy.


General Comments

Cost of drinks similar to UK prices and can mount up. Allow £400-£500 for a family of four for 2 weeks. Organised excursions can be expensive so do your homework to save money by organising things yourself. However we had several excursions and all were very well organised.
The two swimming pools were smaller than expected and 6 feet deep, even the childrens pool. There was a pool for paddling which was aimed a toddlers. Make sure that you choose a cabin well away from the Theatres and bars as the noise from these venues can be heard in rooms above or below them.
