General Comments

As a party of five ranging from 20 to 56 all members had a very enjoyable holiday. Our cruise was the Spice Island tour with a weeks stay in the Shanzu Paradise Beach hotel over Christmas and the New Year.
Previously, we have travelled with Fred Olsen and NCL cruise Lines and found the Royal Star evening meals excellent in comparison. The staff are first class.
The ship is small - as expected- but makes the holiday much more sociable than found on the larger liners.
The second week at the Shanzu Hotel was very good also. We booked the gourmet pass, which we would recommend, not due to buffet quality but the high standard of both food and sevice in the six a la carte restaurants avaliable.
The hotel rooms are basic but you are in AFRICA!! Remember it is a developing country that does not have all the luxuries or aminities you would find in Europe. If you must have these then holiday there.
What the rooms lack in decor they make up for in the view and location.
We would reccommend ASC to anyone.
Quick note: we decided to safari with North Coast Hunters (you will find them on the beach) covering Tsavo East and West. the company were superb, we were lucky to see all of the 'big five' and more.
