An amazing trip across the Atlantic for a couple of budget seeking explorers, in cruising terms. We made a lot of friends and loved the whole experience.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
We got to the terminal a few hours too early so had to wait a little while to embark, but we had good chats with other passengers.

We couldn't fault the food and drink that was available pretty much 24/7,not that we stayed up much past midnight.

We had so much fun with quizzes throughout the day, trips to the gym and sunbathing on deck, and watching other passengers playing the deck games.

Pool parties and live shows were very good, all typical British spirit.

5 out of 5
Bus trip to Antigua, a very old city. Such amazing people and culture.
Take the cable car up to top and take the toboggan ride down. OK it only goes a little way down but the walk back was great to soak up the vernacular. Comfy shoes recommend.
3 days in San Francisco after disembarkation, trip to alcatraz, amazing. Cycled across the bridge, a day in Ashbury, tram and bus rides. We just got out there. San Francisco gets a bit moody at night though, lots of drug issues.
I am happy to hear you had such a good time!!San Francisco is one of my favorite cities. At least it was. I haven’t been back to California in 30 + years. It sounds like you would have fun anywhere you go!
