We selected this cruise because it originated in Florida, had a lot of at sea days and visited Ireland and Holland. Would highly recommend it. I should have packed more cool weather clothes. Living in Florida give one a distorted view of the weather! The first two days were warm, but then cooled off to 50-60's. Crossing was very smooth.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Used mytime dining option. We reserved the same table everynight. Had great service and good food. Ate at Chops specialty restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday. Food and service was good, but I was disappointed that we got dressed up for the occasion, but other diners were in the same clothes that they had worn off the ship that day. Took something away from our special occasion.

Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Cabin was OK, the furniture needed to be updated. You could see where it was well used.
Enjoyed seeing Ireland. We took tour of medieval museum and
Waterford crystal. The museum was interesting, but our visit was rushed. Would have enjoyed a little more time here. The Waterford factory tour was very interesting. More so that I had expected.
We carried out own luggage off the ship. Went without a hitch. If you are physically able would highly recommend. Only wish we didn't have to leave the ship so darn early in the morning.
