historical charm and good moments
rich history helpful staff excellent labeling free parking
i enjoyed the ship's rich history. it was like stepping back in time, with memorabilia around every corner. the staff were helpful, always ready with a smile and information. the food allergen labeling in the lido restaurant was excellent, a thoughtful touch. (i especially appreciated the detailed list) the free parking was also a big plus.
navigating the ship proved a little confusing initially. the layout requires some exploration to fully grasp, especially with ongoing refurbishments and occasional locked doors. i did find my way around eventually though.
