It was my 16th birthday when I went on this cruise and I found it to be really good. I was quite worried about me being the youngest person there but there was people of all age. Overall, this cruise was very enjoyable.

The pool was rather small with not much room for swimming and mostly taken up by children. It was more of a splash pool than a swimming pool. There was lots of space to sunbath in quiet and crowded areas and more than enough deck chairs for everyone on board. The lounge areas were spacious, although did get crowded at times. The casino was good, although I excepted it to be much larger. I couldn't have a go there as I'm not 18 but if you are then it seemed rather good.

The food was lovely and service was very good. The waiters were very sweet and at times even brought me roses and sang to me. The waiters also danced around the restaurant whilst playing guitars. On the last evening they even came out dancing and singing with cakes on their head, which everyone really enjoyed. The food was tasty and so was desert, although I think they should have a wider range of food options such as chips and burgers. The only real bad thing about the restaurant was that it was formal dress every night and sometimes me and my family didn't feel like dressing up every night, esp after coming back from a tiring day at one of the excursions.

The cabin which I shared with my auntie was spacious. The shower room was quite small, but enough for the one person. The cabin was very quiet and all you could hear was the waves outside. The cabin steward was very friendly and did a very good job at tiding our messy cabin everyday.

The entertainment was good. They had a variety of different shows and my favourite was the 'stars in your eyes' show, where passengers got to dress up and sing like their favourite artist. Children had a play room and a place to go and watch movies, although for teenagers there wasn't really much to do and the shows were more suitable for adults.

The ports which we stopped at were Rome, Genova, Pisa (Florence), Villefranche, Barcelona and Mallorca. We only went on one full-day excursion, because it was very tiring and we preferred to be able to do 'our own thing'. If you don't go on the excursions then you can sunbathe, swim or use many of the on board amenities, such as the gym.

I went with my mom and my auntie and we did all enjoy ourselves. There was people of all ages, although mainly people 30+ There was also people from all round the world.
