The restaurants on board were fantastic and the staff were equally as good. I am astounded how they managed to produce such beautiful meals, with so many people on board, but night after night the meals just kept getting better. The bars had the most fantastic entertainment and it was so nice to stroll down, listen to some great music, eat delicious food, and then fall into bed with the waves crashing.
Valetta in Malta was by far my favourite stop. I had never thought about Malta as a holiday destination, but it was so fantastic. The fortification of Valletta made me think I was caught up in an Indiana Jones movie. As we climbed in a lift to scale the massive sandstone walls, I expected to see some sort of Arabian bazaar – it had that feel about it. Once we entered the city though, it was stunningly Baroque, although looking across to Daenerys Mdina I did expect to see dragons flying the skies. I didn’t go on a cruise to see the places we visited, rather, the plan was to sit around reading in the sun without having to drag suitcases around. The little taster of Malta has put it firmly on my ‘will return’ list.
