Everything, Suite, Suite service, Food, Restaurant Service,Service in the Public rooms was all of the highest standard. The Hotel staff were always quick to help with the heavy external doors. The ship was very well kept both internally and externally. The price of the cruise was high but drink being included, we thought it good value. So yes it compared well with the thirty plus cruises we have done over the years. Captain Ericsenn was to be seen very often about the ship, stopping very often to have a quick word with this or that crew member or guest, and his promise of "no motion on the ocean" always proved to be correct! With only two hundred passengers you don't get any famous lecturers, but the enteretainment was quite good, they had local groups from ashore several times. To sum up....Expensive but well worth it, very good value.

Staff5
The Captain. An excellent all rounder. His presence was , of course, demanded on the bridge at certain times. But I have never come across a captain who devoted so much time to moving about the ship with a word of appreciation for this staff member and occasionally a mild rebuke for another. He set the Pace.
