Disgusted by indoor smoking, not happy with bar prices, and the queuing for embarking and disembarking at both ends (Newcastle was the worst!) has put us off even more than the cigarette stench which permeated most areas of the ship. The fact that I was pretty much stranded, with a full bladder at 3 in the morning, on the top bunk in our cabin has left me somewhat disgruntled too (lol). The food in the buffet restaurant was excellent (we paid £19 pp, not £31) but the 2-course meal on the return journey was not good value at £28 pp, nor was the bottle of wine at £26. This was our venture to avoid airports, but not one we will repeat.
