The seating we received was excellent though we were one of the early seatings. The food was good though not great compared to the local restaurants. Some of the buffet food which should have been hot was barely warm. Our server was excellent. Unfortunately it was a bit windy which made it cold to be out on deck. It was difficult to hear the person describing the sights. The jazz band was disappointing.

Cruise was the perfect length and a really enjoyable run down and back from the city. Boarding was fast and efficient with Gina, the director, taking time to talk with our family and make us feel like special guests. The food for the brunch was surprisingly good - it could have easily been phoned in, but offered a great sampling of local cuisine. It was a great time - thanks a lot!

Brilliant. Well organised from start to finish. We had the brunch, and you are assigned a table for the entire cruise, and the buffet was not the zoo that you normally get with open brunches, with good options available. Very pleased with the whole expeience. Well worth the cost.
