We sailed around the Eastern mediterranean-cruises/">Mediterranean to destinations which, apart from Valletta, we had not previously visited and this was the main attraction of the cruise, together with the fact that we had very much enjoyed our previous cruise on the Braemar around the Caribbean earlier in the year. We were intrigued to see what effect the "stretching" of the ship had created and we were pleasantly surprised, although the resulting increase in passengers has caused overcrowding problems in the Neptune Lounge during showtime and also in the Coral Club. The addition of the Grampian restaurant, in which we were seated, is also an attractive addition. So far as the cruise was concerned, the weather was ideal - plenty of sun and no rain. The food was good and the service impeccable. We are looking forward to next year when we sail on Boudicca.

| Quality of Food |  |
| Grampian restaurant - where the food was generally of a high standard. | | Entertainment | |
| The most enjoyable show, without doubt, was that put on by crew members. | | Shore Excursions |  |
| Best excursion was to Olympia for the historical background we were given. | | Staff | |
| The waiters in the Grampian restaurant for their attentiveness. | | Children's Facilities | n/a |
| | Onboard Activities | n/a |
| There was ample choice, but we took little part from choice. | | Cabins | |
