“A wonderful experience. The ship was impeccably clean. The tables were set for fine dining. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out many of the attractions.

“De show was prima. Eten daarentegen viel tegen. Michelin ster prijzen en hoeveelheid maar de kwaliteit van de All you can eat om de hoek. Wij kregen net zoveel eten met z’n vijven als de tafel naast ons waar twee personen aan zaten, heel vreemd. 2 kleine stukjes kip en een stukje vis verdelen over 5 personen en een klein schaaltje nasi. We moesten maar om meer vragen als we het op hadden. Op de vraag waarom we niet meteen wat meer konden krijgen was het antwoord dat we dan mischien wel weer teveel zouden krijgen. Rare opmerking gezien de tafel naast ons met 2 personen die in principe elk…”

“What a great awareness and consciousness-raising experience for both your senses and for people who have visual impairments!
