Considering the cruise is advertised as an affordable yet basic cruise, we found it had every luxure we desired. The quality of life on board the ship was super and the relaxed atmosphere only served to enhance the experience rather than cheapen it.

Public areas were spacious and plush and every room had its own character, providing an atmosphere for everyone. The level of cleanliness and repair was fantastic and we felt like royalty wherever we were on the boat.

The food was too good to be described - words escape me. With 6 meals a day - should you choose to take them all- you might expect the quality to suffer but every meal was special. It was great to choose either an al fresco breakfast and lunch or waiter service in the restaurant on a daily basis depending on your mood. The waiters themselves made our holiday what it was. Oleh and Orlando were fantastic! Evening meals were all prepared to individual requirements and all tasted better than any restaurant I've ever been in back home. the midnight buffets were a spectacle to behold every evening - even if you couldn't manage another morsel!

Whilst compact, cabins were clean and suited the purpose, as they was so much to do we were rarely in our cabin. the slight hum of the engine lulled us to sleep and the dressing table and wardrobe provided adequate storage space. the bathroom was also compact but we found no difficulties at all. fresh ice everyday and turning beds down at night and making them the next day made us feel we were getting much more than we had paid for.

The production cast were immensley talented and I found it hard to believe that shows of such a high caliber could be performed there. Cabarets were good and alternative entertainment was always offered and was very funny!

Activities were planned for every minute of every day - docked or not - and one could choose to participate in a little or as many aas one liked, without feeling left out if you chose not too. provisions for children of all ages was fantastic and likewise, activities were provided for all ages and tastes.

As we had saved up for this cruise for our honeymoon, we were initially worried that our fellow passengers may be a little highbrow and snobby - but this simply was not the case. The casual atmosphere helps break down such barriers and everybody talks to anyone! We met so many interesting people there - from young couples like ourselves, through young families to older couples - all up for a good time!
