Hi brick maker...we didn't enjoy anything,it was our first & last,a complete waste of over £4000.Cold food,swollen feet for two weeks,in lifts all day & evening.Ship too large & couldn't find our way around.Cabin too small,balcony too small.Suitcases under beds full of clothes as not enough hangers.Not for us but thanks for asking

Nana.... I didn't want to say anything before you went so as not to be off putting. However the ship you chose is the very, very last one I would ever use again, once was enough. Also the Caribbean is my most unfavourite place for cruising. That said I will be calling at a couple of ports on the cruise I have booked sailing later this spring. I will be sailing Cunard Queen Victoria, superior in every respect to Britannia.

Anne the other 4 we were with love Cruising but they were comparing it with the others they'd been on.I couldn't wear evening shoes so went to dinner barefoot.We had to be out of cabin 8am for them to sanitize it.On last day my hubby dropped his inhaler & it went under the bed,he retrieved it along with a comb full of fluff which wasn't mine.They make 16000 meals daily & that was the excuse for cold food

So back to the Reef later this year then NJ. We keep pondering whether to do the Alaskan cruise. Only seven days though that one and not far too travel. Sorry it wasn't what you expected but you got it out of your system.

Nana very sorry for you, to spend all that money and not enjoy it, must be heartbreaking. It's bad enough if you go away in this country for a few days and the Hotel turns out to be rubbish.
