    Good Points: Congenial atmosphere, pleasant cabin, and good food. Somewhat like a private boat.


    Bad Points: Only some entertainment.

    Having booked my cruise I then read some reviews where a point was raided re disembarkation, i.e. you were required to leave the ship at 9.30a.m. On day of disembarkation, and as my flight home was not until late afternoon, I was unhappy that I would have to spend some 6-7 hours at the airport. I then took this matter up with my Travel Agent, who investigated the point, and told me 'that is just how it is!'I allowed this point to cloud my judgement for the first couple of days, but need not hav ...
