Viewpoints

The quality of the service by the captain and crew was excellent, attentive, courteous, informative, detailed and considerate. On board and off the atmosphere was friendly and fun. Each day was full to the brim with exciting things to do and see - with a blessed opportunity for an afternoon siesta thrown in. The food was wonderful and beautifully presented. Constant access to water and soft drinks was much appreciated.
