Canon IXUS 80IS any thoughts?

Hi, my Mum has recently celebrated her 80th birthday & she is going on holiday with friends on a cruise through the norway fiords,

She has hardly ever used a camera but would like to take one with her so I am trying to sort out something cheap, easy to use but with reasonable image quality,

A quick look on Amazon & I see the Canon IXUS 80is gets very good reviews & is available for around £45, has anyone had one & what did you think or have you any other idears under a very tight budget of £50,

Thanks in advance.
