    Good Points: Food. The ship itself. Public rooms & cabins were actually warm (most cruise ships are cold). Tea, coffee & biscuits in cabin.


    Bad Points: Couldn't care less "service". Ship's security officers were officious "jobsworths", yet laughably inefficient.


    General comments: Adonia is a Big 77,499 ton ship had plenty of space & never felt crowded, despite 1928 passengers. We went into Vigo (Spain) on Easter Day when everything was shut, except one street with souvenir shops & bars:-Bad planning taking us to a city when it's "closed"!
    Waiters were lazy & inattentive (from India, not Phillippines, like most cruise ships). Had my lunch at a table where the previous users rubbish still hadn't been shifted when I'd finished. Most ship's staff fall over themselves to help & serve you, this lot had no initiative & needed prompting, even when it was obvious you were struggling with something.
    Captain was distant & off-hand compared with Fred.Olsen & Orient Lines' captains. On most ships you meet the captain at his cocktail party, on Adonia he just did a tedious speech to everyone with predictable & scripted "jokes".
    Security insisted on seeing your pass every time before you boarded the ship, even though you wouldn't be able to get on the ship without it & the port security wouldn't let you onto the port without showing it:- This farce continued even toward the end of the cruise when these jobsworths knew who you are.
