I too was on this cruise to the Canaries. I cannot agree with your comment about Marco Pierre White's Restaurant. My husband and I dined there and cannot fault the food or service. Yes you pay a cover charge, but if you want to eat at 6pm (and the meal took us over 2 hours to eat finishing at 8pm) you only pay £12.50 per person . You are sitting in delightful surroundings overlooking the back of the ship and it is lovely a quiet restaurant to eat in, unlike the Bay Tree at times when you could not hear yourself at times!
