Calypso is a very friendly ship, good food, FANTASTIC entertainment. I have a dairy allergy and the staff went out of their way to ensure my food was safe. We did the Eastern promise cruise, so no days at sea. Ports of call were all amazing. We took 3 organised tours, guides really knew their stuff and were well worth the cost.
A nice "extra mile" touch is the surprise left in your cabin, your towels made into animal shapes (a monkey hanging from the ceiling or an elephant wearing your sunglasses sitting on your pillow etc etc etc). Cabins are VERY small but have everything you need. Ship can be noisy on lower decks and the slightest swell makes it rock a bit too much for some peoples likeing.
Once a month the crew have a well earned staff party around the pool. On our cruise 1 passenger complained about it (said that that was where he liked to have a quiet smoke). Because of this comment the staff party had to be held in the crew quarters. Whoever it was made that complaint should have been ashamed of themselves.
