Second cruise and what a diffence from the thomson celebration..We took our son this time and had a wonderful time. The service we received onboard and in port was excellant, the food was gorgeous and the entertainment was brillant. The went from Southampton which was a much slicker operation than Harwich and the destaintions were better organized. We spent a descent amount in each destination starting with Vigo which was a beautiful day of sunshine and loads of walking, lisbon where we spent a lot of time looking at historic buildings and had some beautiful seafood. Bourdeaux we went round the markets and ate loads and stayed on the ship for the rest of the time. My son had a great time in the child play areas with video games and activites, didn't see him for hours on end absolute bliss. We had a balcony which were spacious and well thought out. Food was the best and would recommend this ship to couples and famnilies.
