Review summary

British Isles cruise ports were all excellent. Ships tours were excellent. Food was  basically good as were the staff onboard.

Entire ship needs refurbishment. It is getting worn. Computer system is poor. Entertainment was excellent but lacking on some nights. Cutbacks are evident. Specialty restaurants fee is raised to $29 per pax. Steak is off regular menu nightly choices. Needed information regarding shuttle transfers was lacking until it was too late to utilize the transfers. Folkloric shows which were brought onboard were in Ireland and Scotland were performed BEFORE tours came back to ship.
