The trip started off well but because of the bad weather and not been able to port in Las Palmas and Morrocco it meant more time at sea. Not what you want in force 11 gales and horrendous storms. Most people were sick and confined to their rooms. In my oppinion this ship shouldn't have sailed with passengers on board during this time when they knew the weather was going to be bad. It was not an holiday - it was a nightmare.

Hi - my family and I were on this cruise and basically the passengers divided into two groups - cheerful appreciating the opportunity of an affordable cruise and the moaners! I heard people complaining that the food was a buffet not waiter service but it was clearly stated in the brochure ! Although the weather was bad it is not fair to say that people were confined to their cabins this is simply not true! We were out and about with plenty of others and even slept through the force 10 due to plentiful 'all inclusive' G&Ts! Wise up people - if you want a fancy cruise pay the prices if you want a decent package holiday on a boat go for this! My kids have stayed in Disney Florida five star accommodation for the last two years and enjoyed this just as much!
<br/>From Dianne (tired of scrounging, middle aged whingers (although I am middel aged!)). If you have booked already don't let the whingers put you off - the staff & food are exceptional. Gran Canaria fantastic.

I totally agree with the reviewer, the ship is a disgrace.
