We had a superb time on the cruise.
Somebody like me can't afford the Emeraude, and when travelling alone, that's not the best kind of boat to go on anyway. For people who can't blow that kind of money, or who want to be on a more congenial cruise with decent facilities and good food, but with a bit wider range of people to mingle with, Handspan's are still one of the better options.
