This cruise was the relocation cruise from Southampton to Barbados. It included only 5 port stops, so we had a lot of sea days, including 6 consecutive days. I like the sea days as you are forced to relax, especially if you don't buy the internet access package. The crew provide a good range of activities and entertainment to keep you busy. We did at least 3 quizzes a day, but plenty of other options were available. I'm not into the black tie nights, of which we had 4, but we simply ate at the buffet on those nights to avoid the need to dress up. The staff were excellent, especially considering that some were in training. We met some lovely people - and some we would prefer not to meet again! The ship is big enough to find like-minded passengers and avoid those with other interests. The food was average - there was a huge choice, especially in the buffet, but it was basically the same huge choice every day and a little more variety would be good.
