Here's one for you and in particular for Clive and Stephen as I know you two will appreciate it 😊

Cue to those certain members who are going to say, "I cruised on her last year but she looks different" 😂

Have a good weekend.

Yes, she looks as though she was a lovely vessel and I certainly wish that I'd cruised on her last year.

I like that vessel, too. I wonder, if they still had the class separation there (probably with first and tourist classes). Probably quite nice cabins on upper decks, but possibly some less convenient ones on lower decks especially in proximity of the diesel engines.

Just looked in web. They had two classes, but rather low numbers of passengers, only 65 in 2nd class. So maybe, also the 2nd class cabins were rather convenient.

Yes, did a Canary Island cruise on her end of 2018. Looks different. Didn`t have a mast at the back, more lifeboats than that shown, two white roundy things middle top, (something to do with internet) smokestack was red with Fred`s flag on and ship seemed longer. Was she rebuilt?
Rgds, John.
