Hi Samantha,
Apologies for late reply, was in transit all day yesterday.
My cruise was lovely thank you, though I was disappointed I couldn't swim in the pool (no filtration so water dirty) or follow the Tai Chi Class (on screen rather than actual teacher, so too difficult when it involved turns) I was looking forward to doing the mornings.
But not a great criticism as lots of other things to do.
The ship, my room and the ships crew was lovely also.
Take care Samantha and Thank you for bringing this long desired wish into reality.
