Almost everything was great, unfortunately we only had 1 problem with a waiter, we were almost the last table in his area, he only ever made it to the middle. We then ordered from the waiter on the other side, who had just as much to do and still looked after us. He really worked his ass off. We stocked up at the supermarket for the return trip, money that you unfortunately missed out on.

The waitress, she is still on board for another year then she retires. At 37 degrees she served all the guests with friendliness and aplomb. I have the utmost respect for her. Actually the whole crew, it was absolutely mega!!! Thank you very much for this great day!!!
