Facilities were great, bar staff were very polite and Welcoming. One recommendation would be is to improve the food, it was very bland and had very little taste. The pastas were both cold, and the salads had no dressings

It got very crowded, not sure what was the cap for number of people in each cruise. Food/drinks had very long queues but there was a decent selection of veg and some non veg food. There were beers, wines and some spirits in the bar. Thankfully the weather was good so we got good clean views of the major vivid attractions. Would have been a 5 star is crowds were controlled.

My partner and I were very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to board the vessel. But the table setup was delightful, and we felt special by being served by a dedicated staffer. The staffer was very pleasant and was able to meet our requirements including ensuring our dietary were catered for. Later on the atmosphere created with the onboard musician/singer was perfect.
