Thinking of a Canary Cruise in December 2008 - anyone any experience of this?

 

Few questions are - food? entertainment ? - conditions on board - trips et

 

Any advice would be great = thanks

We have done this cruise 4 times once at New Year on the old Sun Cruises carousel. We also did the canary cruise last january on the Destiny, we found the food very good, we are not into going to shows very much but they usually have a good comedian on, and the bars are always lively. The weather can be very mixed sometimes the crossing up to Madeira can be a bit rough but the ships cope with it well, it is the same the world over you cannot guarantee the weather, most of the time we have been round there we have had nice sunny weather at around 21degrees. Madeira is easy to get around on your own we got shuttle boat into town costing a couple of euros then caught the cable car to the place where the toboggan run goes from, also in Madeira and Gran Canaria we have done the hop on hop off bus trips, they usually cost about 18 euros. In Lanzarote if you can get 4 people together you we did the Fire Mountain trip, Santa Cruz is easy to walk into visit the large fruit and flower market. Hope information is helpful if you need anything else just post.
