not quite what I expected
Reviewed By: muldoon, wishaw on 14th Aug 2008
Cruise Line: Ocean Village Cruises	Times cruised before: 1-2
Cruise Ship: Ocean Village	Sailed: July, 2008
Destination: Mediterranean	Age: 26-35

Just returned from a 2 week cruise on OV1, doing both olives and ouzo and tapas and togas. To be honest the ship was great, the destinations were superb and the crew fab. But it just didn't quite hit the mark. Tours were expensive although well organised (but they need to vet their guides more), drinks were expense (both alcoholic and non alcoholic) and if you wanted to eat a good standard of food you had to pay a small surchage for it ( both la luna and the bistro were top notch) the waterfront and plantations were a bot too much like my works canteen (you queue for the tray, then your plates, then for your luke warm food, then for your tea) In comparison to others Island cruises are certainly better
Quality of Food
but only if you wanted to pay for it (la luna and the bistro) plantations and the waterfront - no thanks

Comment by Macro, Reading (29 Sep 08 10:40) about this REVIEW.

surely 28 stars out of 35 equals a 4 star overall not 3 ( 4x7 =28, 5x7=35)? I found OV more to my liking than Island but that is a matter of personal preference. I would only remark that Wishaw must be a cheap place to drink as I find the prices on board cheaper than my 'usual' and the trips cost the same as any of the cruise lines I have been on these last 11 years.
