# previous cruises: 10 to 20
Date of Trip: July 15, 2006
Itinerary: Africa
If used to large ships, this isn't for you!! The food was truly excellent, the service very good but the "entertainment" was absolutely dreadful - just dancers, each night. Give us a singer, a comedian, a magician - anything but the same dancers doing the same dances every night!! The lovely front bar, the Starlight Bar, with the lovely piano being provided, but no pianist at all, ever!! What a shame because it would have made a great bar but it was always empty
The main lounge was OK but the second bar was always empty because of the absence of a pianist. The entertainment was so appalling , you wanted to go elsewhere but you couldn't because the second bar was empty!!
Keep children out of the Casino - a sign is all that's required!!
Only one dining room - excellent food and service.
Occasional outside buffet but not as good as inside the restaurant.
Good cabin, de-luxe. Excellent storage - well, it was for four but there were only 2 of us!! Very quiet - at the end of the corridor.
Absolutely appalling. Whatever the Cruise Director was being paid for, he should be sacked because he did nothing. No variety at all, just Russian dancers rather stone-faced doing the same nightly routines. Boring, boring, boring.....
Very few, poorly organized activities.
They were OK, but no, I would not invite them over for dinner.
A good, friendly ship which, if they sorted out the entertainment, both during the day and in the evenings, and the bars, with a pianist, I would still go on again
