Advantages: price, facilities, food on board

Disadvantages: not good for sea sickness sufferers

This has got to be a great way of introducing yourself to the cruise experience. I work in Plymouth port control and am fully aware of all the offers that become available and myself and my girlfriend decided that this would make a lovely short break. The trip consisted of a 24 hour sailing to Santander, 2 hours in Santander to do as you please then the return 24 hours. The price was £99 each but included £30 each of vouchers for use in the restaurants, i thought the vouchers would be "spend £20 and get £5 off" sort of thing but they are money vouchers to spend as you please. We found that we didn't have to spend a penny on food on board and we had three meals every day. The facilities on board were fantastic very clean and easy to find, all shops and restaurants were attended by very helpful french staff.

We also had the misfortune to see the hospital on board, my girlfriend suffers from epilepsy and had a fit in the restaurant. We were looked after very well and the staff were great at getting the doctor as quick as possible.

All in all this was a great break from the kids!! and well recommended, also great value. i have read comments that the cabins are too small but we found them absolutely fine.. after all what do you expect on a ship.!
