fantastic holiday on island star

Reviewed By: McArthur, Glasgow on 5th Oct 2008
Cruise Line: Island Cruises Times cruised before: 0
Cruise Ship: Island Star Sailed: September, 2008
Destination: Mediterranean Age: 36-45
First ever cruise, wasn't sure what to expect but had a fantastic holiday. The island-cruises-summer-holidays/">island star was very relaxed and with no set time for dinner this really appealed. Staff were friendly and we felt safe and relaxed at all times. We sailed on the Med Essence itenary and all port destinations were wonderful. Everything about the trip was well organised and hassle free. The cabin was a lot more spacious that I expected. The bathroom could have done with upgrading but everything was clean. Would definately sail on the Island Star again and have taken home some lovely memories.
Quality of Food4
Ate once in the Oasis restaurant, food was lovely. Ate mostly in the Beachcombers restaurant where you helped yourself, the food was always warm and to a very good standard.
Entertainment4
Don't usually watch musicals, but enjoyed the musical perfomances and was impressed by the high standard. Most of the Jongleur comedians were very funny. Party nights on deck were fun.
Shore Excursions4
Hard to choose, every day was a highlight. Portofino was extremely beautiful, took a private motor boat excursion from Sante Margharita to Rapello then to Portofino.
Staff4
Most staff were very friendly and helpful. You felt you were being well looked after.
Children's Facilitiesn/a
Onboard Activities4
There were quite a few activies on board, as the weather was good spent most of time at sea sunbathing on deck. Visited the Spa which was nice.
Cabins3
Cabin was more spacious than expected. Was clean, perhaps could do with upgrading.
