  • "good but not good value for money"

    The staff were very competent and the ship was spacious and certainly not overcrowded. The service was very good in the restaurant and although the food looked wonderful, it was extremely limited for vegetarians. We ate a plate of ratatouille, which was very good, but there was no choice for those of us who don't eat meat or fish. I felt that the trip was extremely overpriced and learned from others that they had paid much less for the same journey.

  • "Cabins far too hot, everything else good"

    Boarding took a long time no reason given for the delay, may have been because of the 28 vintage rolls royces that got to go on first, Food in the restaurant really excellent. Very good singer in the main bar, but she needs a stylist to advise her on clothes. Inner cabin so hot it was hard to breath, never mind sleep. Very quick getting off at St Malo. Quick boarding on return, we had a day cabin, which was good for the long crossing, quite restful. Quiz in the bar was fun, although didn't seem to be advertised, just info at the bar, so only 3 teams. Lovely food at the self service restaurant, had one of the best Entrecote steaks I have had perfectly cooked to my request.
