Canaries and Azores

Lovely ship, easy enough to navigate, love that the atrium is open almost to the top and the centre lifts are glass.

Every public space was clean with an attendant in all public toilets, not a blocked toilet in site.

The speciality dining was expensive and I thought unnecessary as main dining area food was excellent. We did try Qsine as an anniversary treat, very clever dining experience.

Every member of staff was friendly and attentive. Couldn’t have wished for more, definitely 5*.

Our only complaint, if that, was not enough seating in public areas to relax and listen to live bands, you had to be there at least 30 mins before to get a seat. The library was disappointing too, there were no reference books.

We loved Madera (Did the basket ride down the mountain) and Lisbon (picked a taxi up for a 3 hour tour of city, checked his credentials and he had a card machine to pay with! his knowledge was fantastic) I was expecting a different Tenerife (thought it had a beach) and Azores was a small town we’d walked around in 2 hours, we would do a trip next time. Very relaxing holiday as plenty of sea days although my husband was a bit bored.
