We could praise the quality of her restaurant and thcscrvicc and choice of food that is offered. We could talk enthusiastically about the style and comfort of her suites and cabins and the genuine friendliness of her off icers and crew, or we could describe the West End standard of the excellent shows and entertainment on board.
