Venetian Adventure Gail & Peter Review

Venetian Adventure Gail & Peter Review

Reviewed By: Nevet, Leeds on 3rd Jun 2009
Cruise Line: Island Cruises	Times cruised before: 10+
Cruise Ship: Island Escape	Sailed: April, 2009
Destination: Western Europe	Age: 46-55
Cabin: Outside

Ship could do with a face lift. Was disappointed that we did not get to stay in Venice for the scheduled two days and felt that the explanation given was lame. Ship was full to capacity and found it near impossible to get into any of the shows - although this perhaps reflected how good they were. Food as usual was excellent only surpassed by the fabulous staff. Weather was not good which never helps. Restaurants were very full and it would have been a good idea, especially on the days at Sea, to have the non-24 hour restaurants open for longer periods to stop the crushes. Enjoyed the 'in-house' entertainment. he entertainment staff were very good as usual, going out of their way to welcome you back on board and making you feel like a valued customer.

What was the lame excuse for Venice ? As for the shows - it is often said that the problem you encountered exists.
